One-day Workshop: The Autonomic Nervous System in relation to emotions and character defense

We offer a workshop space to explore and learn more about nervous system regulation. We will take you deeper into how regulation and expansion are the “left and right wing” to reach aliveness with. Together, we will explore the connection between the autonomic nervous system, emotions and character defenses, and how working with these can support us in becoming more fully alive.

What to expect

• Nervous system awareness: Learn how your body signals safety, stress, and shutdown, and practice simple ways to regulate.
• Discover how your character defenses can influence your ability to regulate your emotions.
• Learn how Core Energetics invites you to expand your capacity through expression, building more room for authenticity, connection, and choice in everyday life.

For whom

Are you curious about how you respond to stress, emotions, and the world around you? Do you sometimes feel overwhelmed, hold yourself back, or withdraw to feel safe? Or would you simply love to experience more freedom, connection, and aliveness?

This workshop is for everyone who is curious to explore these themes, through both understanding and direct experience. You are very welcome to join us.

Tanja Konig: After my own therapy process, I discovered that the most important is not to handle your feelings, but to LIVE your feelings. „I feel, therefore I am“. Expansion instead of contraction. In this way you stretch your Window of Tolerance. You get alive and kicking, instead of overwhelmed.

Anne-Monique Walstra: I know this place of feeling overwhelmed quite well, and I see it so much around me in this world where everything goes so fast, and we often feel obliged to keep up. Learning about the Ployvagal Theory and the way the Autonomic Nervous System works, has already helped me a lot, but for me the way to work with my patterns and character, has been the game changer.
