Feeling Your Feelings: Bodywork Basics
Join us for a condensed version of the 3-week version of Feeling your Feelings. This workshop explores the causes and effects of body disconnection, the impact of a dysregulated nervous system, and strategies to start feeling your feelings.

Be in the space of like-minded individuals and so much more!

What Others Are Saying About the Full FYF Workshop...
“The supportive community that was built over the two days. It was so reassuring to hear other people say similar things. I know that's something you can't necessarily control but I thought it was the best part.”
“The workshop was affirming and informative. The judgment-free space that was created with like-minded individuals was really lovely to be in."
Life-changing, it could not have come at a better time for me.”
“The community and the fact that The Cognitive Corner met us where we were – there wasn't a line of demarcation or condescending communication from anyone. I loved how safe the space was. It speaks volumes to the respect the community holds for TCC and how incredibly needed these workshops are. The expert advice was also amazing – no gatekeeping information for added cost. And of course, the workbook... having something to come back to and integrate in my life is incredibly helpful.”
