Grief can cause an enormously painful dividing line in our personal life story: there is the person we were before our loved one died and the person we are now becoming. As we move through the process of mourning and rebuilding, we may often feel unsettled or anxious. Anxiety can manifest in very common physical symptoms (nausea, fatigue, shortness of breath), emotional symptoms (nervous, tense, jumpy), behavioral symptoms (avoidance, agitation, escape plans) and cognitive symptoms (confusion, fear, hypervigilance). Join us as we unpack anxiety and uncover ten powerful ways to manage anxiety while holding the space for grief. This interactive workshop will dive into practical, every day tools you can use to tame anxiety, such as: animals, breathwork, counseling, energy therapy, imagery, touch and nature. You will leave this session feeling hopeful, encouraged and supported.
