Emotional Hygiene

Our emotions are serious business. If we don’t take care of them properly, they can escalate and cause greater harm. So it’s important that whoever teaches us how to manage our emotions is well trained.

Scarlet has her masters in social work and 15+ years of counselling experience. She’s learned how to navigate extremely intense emotions including hopelessness and rage, so you can trust her to facilitate a workshop about emotions.

The methods she teaches are evidence-based which means they are grounded in theory and proven through practice. Scarlet helps people develop their emotional intelligence by showing them how to be responsive to their internal experience by matching their visceral care to the level of intensity that is felt.

There are hundreds of thousands of practitioners across the globe who offer workshops and courses about emotions, the nervous system, and how to regulate through intense visceral experiences. So how do you decide who to learn from?

Scarlet’s client retention rate is 93%. She’s been facilitating workshops since 2006, so this isn’t new for her. Over the course of this time she has figured out how to meet people where they are at, and what actually works to guide folks through their emotions in a way that doesn’t just offer relief, it creates freedom.

At the end of every workshop that Scarlet facilitates there are always a handful of people who express their awe at what’s taken place. Come find out why her clients completely trust her leadership.

It’s cold, you’re busy, and the last thing you feel like doing right now is attending an in-person event.

But, you’re starting to feel overwhelmed & isolated. And, you know that if you don’t do something soon to regulate your nervous system, you’ll burn out. And being burnt out is just going to make it even harder to manage your growing to-do list.

If your nervous system becomes unregulated you’ll slip into your pattern of distress: getting distracted, feeling stuck, becoming anxious, or erupting over the small stuff.

There’s so much riding on your wellbeing. So, rather than waiting for the “ideal” learning environment to regulate your nervous system, try a format that’s proven to work.

Tune in from home. Experience relief. And balance your nervous system. It’s simple, accessible, & incredibly effective.

“Magic happens when we gather.”

It starts with a simplecheck-in, followed by a facilitated discussion,  then a series of somatic practices to experiment with different strategies for expressing your emotions viscerally, and it ends with an energy check-out.

Scarlet’s workshops aren’t lecture-style, they are immersive experiences. You don’t have to think or organize your ideas, you just get to feel. But, instead of feeling overwhelmed, you’ll be guided through body-based practices to release the energy of everything you’re feeling, so you can finally relax. Once your nervous system is balanced, you’ll gain clarity about what really matters, right now and you’ll get into the mindset and the energy that is needed for you to achieve that.

You don’t need to have any experience processing your emotions somatically to participate in this workshop.

Those of you that are well resourced emotionally and somatically may be familiar with some of the practices, but you can use this workshop as a way to ensure you actually do what you know is good for you.

You’re running on fumes.
You’ve been sacrificing your own needs, either because this is just what you always do, or because there just isn’t enough space left over when you’re managing all that you are responsible for.
You’ve got deadlines, and people who are counting on you.

At the same time, the tension you’re feeling is only rising.
The stress isn’t going away, it’s getting bigger.
And, you’re reacting to even less.
You can feel yourself slipping into snappy comments and pushing away the people you love.

We often wait until we’re in an emotional breakdown before we take care of our nervous system. We push off the things that help us release the tension and stress of our lives until our bodies crash out. Unfortunately, it’s much more difficult to balance our nervous system once it has become unregulated.

When we neglect our nervous system until it’s burnt out, we develop internal dis-trust. Our body learns that it can’t count on us to provide it with the fuel needed to operate effectively so it starts to glitch out. Flipping us into a state of panic when we don’t hear back from a text for an hour. Or rushing into a fight response when the driver in the right lane is merging into the space in front us.

Taking 60 minutes to take care of your nervous system might feel impossible right now.
And, those 60 minutes could literally transform the way you feel. Come relieve yourself of stress, and reset your nervous system so that you can show up again with presence, patience, and courage.

In this workshop you’ll take care of your emotional experience within a community. But, with some separation, because it’s online. So, you won’t have to worry about whether what you’re feeling is “too” loud for other people, or if you’re looking “ridiculous”, because you’re only going to take up one square on a screen of many people. This workshop offers a simple, accessible, & effective method for feeling connected without absorbing one another’s emotional energy.
