Description
Description:
The first emotion our ancestors evolved was fear—and we remain highly threat reactive today, continually overestimating threats and underestimating opportunities and resources. We’ll explore multiple methods for helping clients “cool the fires” of fear and anger, and internalize inner strength and an appropriate sense of safety.
Educational Objectives:
- Summarize the evolutionary causes of the brain’s threat reactivity.
- Describe two methods for helping clients access a greater sense of personal strength.
