Managing Emotional Reactivity: Tiny Shifts for Lasting Change
Learn with clinical psychologist and bestselling author Dr. Elisha Goldstein through a complete three-part Learning & Practice Series and a Recorded Facilitation Session featuring guided practice, participant reflections and interactive Q&A.
Lasting change does not require dramatic transformation. Small emotional shifts, practised consistently, can reshape habitual patterns, strengthen resilience and support long-term emotional and physical well-being.
In this neuroscience-informed workshop, Elisha introduces the 4R Method: Recognize, Release, Refocus and Reinforce. You will learn a practical way to notice emotional activation, create space around automatic reactions and reconnect with greater perspective, curiosity and choice.
Move through the teaching, guided practice and practical application at your own pace. Then watch Elisha facilitate the practice with participants, hear their reflections and explore the questions and real-world applications that emerged during the live workshop.
In this workshop, you will:
- Recognize the emotional loops, nervous-system reactions and habitual patterns underlying stress and reactivity.
- Experience the 4R Method—Recognize, Release, Refocus and Reinforce—with a familiar emotional trigger or reactive pattern.
- Apply the method to moments of overwhelm, defensiveness, self-criticism and relational stress—including within your work with clients.
Who this workshop is for
- Helping professionals seeking a practical method they can use personally and adapt in their work with clients.
- Individuals who want to respond to stress, emotional triggers and relationship challenges with greater awareness and choice.
No previous mindfulness experience is required.
