Emotions 101 Workshops
Improve Your
Emotional Intelligence
More and more we’re being asked to “process our emotions” but what does that even entail? Most of us never learned how to feel, accurately label, or clearly communicate our emotions when we grew up, so as adults it can be confusing where to start. Now, you finally have somewhere you can go to learn about what emotions are, how to feel them in your body, and how to effectively communicate them.
There can be a lot of shame or defensiveness that arises when confronted with the idea that you may lack an emotional education but please let me reassure you that none of us received the necessary tools and skills to navigate the complexity of human emotions. You are not alone in this journey!

About Emotions 101
Everything you need to know about the basics of human emotions but never learned at home or at school. The rise of pop psychology in social media will have you knowing more about terms like “gaslighting” or “narcissism” than something as simple as what emotions like frustration or grief feel like in your body. We seemed to have skipped over the basics and that’s why taking Emotions 101 is a great idea for everyone!
Emotions 101 is a workshop series hosted once per week. Each session is 90min and the fee for each session is $50.
Reduced rates are available for those facing financial hardship. If that applies to you, do not hesitate to reach out via email and we will find a rate that works for you.

Emotions 101 Testimonials

“Heather is an amazing teacher! I was blown away by the presentation of the information in Emotions 101 and how much it resonated with me. I’m excited to use the tools going forward! It’s a can’t miss series - highest recommendation for taking it!”
“I consider myself very emotionally literate and have been through years of therapy, so I wasn’t sure if “101” was right for me, but it covers so many fundamentals that we just don’t learn in therapy (or often in life). I think literally everyone would benefit from taking this course, no matter how much you think you already know about emotions.”

This workshop series teaches the fundamentals of good emotional health. Rarely does a therapist teach you this much content about emotions and will likely focus on the emotions you’re experiencing in session or struggling to experience in session. Your therapist is not required to give you a good emotional education as part of their treatment. This workshop series is a perfect adjunct to working with a therapist.
