Turning Toward & Learning To Self-Soothe

A common way individuals seek to improve their current state is through distraction and avoidance. While both distraction, avoidance and fleeing difficult experiences and emotions have their place, when we rely too heavily on these strategies, we do not learn the skills that allow us to transform the underlying hurts that continue to resurface. As Carl Jung said, 'Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.' Turning toward yourself in moments of dysregulation, insecurity and fear is a way that we go through instead of around. The only way out, is through. By going through our despair, anguish, our deepest fears and shame, we can cultivate deep self-insight into courageousness that acts as a tether to self-trust. This course will teach you skills to turn toward yourself in difficult moments and build a branch that you can reach for in times of challenge.
