Emotional Eloquence & Authenticity: Heyday Workshop #3 with Julie Oldham

What a gift we have been given to be incarnate on this beautiful planet in these physical, emotional bodies! Yet, research has shown that most Americans can only identify only three basic emotional experiences - happy, sad, and angry - when there are actually almost 90 nuanced emotional states! Why is this so important? Because when we develop a deeper understanding of our emotions, we can see more clearly the role they play in shaping thoughts, mindsets, and behaviors, as well as the opportunity we have to cultivate empathy and connection in our relationships.

Why do other people so often misinterpret what we are feeling inside and why is it so hard sometimes to explain your experience to others? Can you accurately describe the difference between Sadness, Anguish, Hopelessness, Despair and Grief? How do we regulate when we are feeling “flooded?” What’s the difference between a mood, a feeling and an emotion, and does it really matter?

During our highs and our lows, it is crucial that we label our feelings skillfully and precisely so that we can celebrate and savor them and also process the less pleasurable ones in the healthiest way. Join us and together we will explore the fascinating nuances of 87 emotional experiences to expand your emotional vocabulary, so you can live your best life and achieve your highest goals.

This is the third of a four part series! Each workshop can be attended independently, or all together as a complete immersive program.
