“It’s amazing how much we try not to feel — we numb, distract, and soldier on. This weekend will help you finally listen to what your emotions are trying to tell you and get support to shift those emotions that are keeping you stuck.”
You can't heal what you can't feel.
If you learned to shut down your emotions…
Maybe you heard “don’t cry” or were praised for being tough. Maybe big feelings meant punishment or rejection. So you got good at locking it all away. The thing is: emotions don’t disappear when ignored. They keep shaping your health, your choices, your energy, and your relationships — often from the shadows! Do any of these sound like you:
- Numbness, shutdown, or overthinking instead of feeling
- Reactivity at work or home — tiny sparks become wildfire
- Carrying everyone else’s emotions and drowning in them
- Physical tension or symptoms you suspect are linked to unprocessed feelings
The promise of this weekend
Mastering your emotions is a life skill. In two days you’ll build practical capacity to access, name, and process what you feel — without getting overwhelmed — so you can respond instead of react, connect instead of close, and move through life with clarity and confidence.
Greater self‑awareness: Understand what you’re feeling – body and words.
Regulation tools: Learn step‑by‑step practices for triggers and stress.
Relationship repair: Show up calmer and clearer with partners, kids, coworkers.
Energy + health: Release what you’ve been holding so your system can reset.
This workshop is for you if…
- You often think, “I don’t know how I’m feeling.”
- You want to feel but can’t seem to access emotions when you try.
- You struggle to express what you feel in words.
- Other people’s energy floods you and you absorb it.
- You’re easily triggered by others — or feel totally numb and shut down.
- People say you don’t understand how they’re feeling.
- You want to stop reacting and start responding with intention.
- You’re ready for practical, compassionate support that sticks.
Over two days, you will…
• Get supported in processing unresolved emotions safely.
• Learn to access, name, and track feelings in real time so you can deal with them.
• Connect body sensations with specific emotions + meanings.
• Build capacity to work with your own and others’ emotions.
Day 1 — Access & Awareness
- Safety, consent, and agreements
- Mapping your emotional body (somatic awareness)
- Naming feelings: from vague to specific
- Stabilization: breath, orienting, and grounding
- Guided practice: meeting a current emotion
• Move beyond numbness or dissociation at a wise, healthy pace.
• Identify your top triggers and practice strategies to shift them.
• Experience resourcing, grounding, and nervous system regulation.
• Leave with a simple daily practice you can actually sustain.
Day 2 — Processing & Integration
- Working with triggers and boundaries
- Processing stuck emotions safely
- Co‑regulation/relating with others’ emotions
- Linking emotions with values and conscious action
- Your personal plan + daily micro‑practices
Note: Day 2 focus may bleed into Day 1 depending on the readiness of the group.
Meet your facilitator — Robin Harris
Hi, I’m Robin. I’ve supported hundreds of people in processing emotions and reconnecting with their inner wisdom. I grew up in a family that didn’t know how to be with big feelings — so I learned to lock mine down and carry everyone else’s. An illness became my turning point; I had to face not only what I felt in the moment, but what I’d avoided for years. I don’t want you to wait for crisis to do this work. Do it now, with support.
My approach is gentle, grounded, and practical — weaving somatic awareness, nervous system regulation, healthy boundaries, and trauma‑informed facilitation. We’ll only go as deep as feels resourced and right for you.

FAQS
This is a trauma‑informed educational and experiential workshop. It’s not a replacement for individualized therapy.
We’ll prioritize stabilization and resourcing. You’ll learn tools to return to center, and facilitators will support regulation in the room.
You choose what you share. We’ll never force disclosure. Safety, consent, and pacing are core to our agreements.
Yes. Numbness and dissociation are common protective patterns. We move at a pace that helps you gently reconnect without pushing.
