Work the Change Triangle Tool to Listen to the Body, Discover Core Emotions, and Connect to Your Authentic Self
CEs now available
Hello and welcome to Emotions Education 101!
The class can best be described as a gentle but profound learning experience to understand your emotions and defenses and help you work the Change Triangle tool to find your calmest, most authentic self. Connecting and sharing with others about emotions helps normalize emotions and decreases aloneness.
The structure of the class will be a mix of didactic learning, gentle experiential exercises and meditations, questions and answers, and processing of what it is like to talk about emotions authentically with others. The class is low-pressure - no one has to participate but all our invited.
In this course, you will learn to better understand and work with emotions - not changing emotions, but having a different experience with them. These experiences will lead to a richer and more authentic life. This course is based on Hilary’s award-winning book It’s Not Always Depression.
Learn how to move through the Change Triangle tool and land in the Open-Hearted State of the Authentic Self!
This course is designed for all people since we all have emotions. In particular, people who are working through their own struggles with anxiety and depression will benefit greatly, as well as those who are supporting others on their journeys like spouses, partners, parents, teachers, and healthcare professionals.
For healthcare and wellness professionals: To be the best clinician you can be, you have to be your best self! We, Heather and Hilary, are much better therapists and coaches since learning and working with the Change Triangle tool.

TESTIMONIALS
“The Emotions Education 101 online course was of high quality. It was inspirational in terms of discovering my, and each others, own emotion processing."
-Suzanne Bindels, Amsterdam, Holland
"The Emotions 101 Course that I took with you, exceeded my expectation on how helpful it was. Personally, I felt and feel more embodied and calmer. And the Course helped my confidence in assisting people with understanding and experiencing their emotions in their body, in the moment. This was huge for my Couples Workshop which involves learning to talk with each other about their most vulnerable feelings in their relationships. Additionally, people I teach it to have consistently found the Change Triangle very powerful in helping them understand emotions and defenses. Thank you both for the excellent, valuable work that you are doing!"
-Diana Weiss-Wisdom, Ph.D., Certified Emotionally Focused Couples Therapist
“I knew the class would be good, but I had no clue just how good. It's been outstanding and a pleasure and a joy. The epiphany that it was my authentic self that I was missing after today's first exercise was an enormous relief. Thank you!”
-Debbie Fray, Valparaiso, IN
"After 20 years of on and off therapy, and a lot of bibliotherapy in the last year and a half (I've read about 50 books on this subject since the beginning of 2020), I have to say that that this course (and Hilary's book) were what helped me the most. The Change Triangle is a compassionate map that helps you identify where you are in the present moment and helps you predict how you might feel as you start to heal, so that nothing is shocking or surprising and you feel a sense of pride and ownership throughout the process. By meeting weekly to learn more about how this all works, and to practice feeling emotions in the presence of others in the group, I have seen a significant improvement in my ability to trust others as well as myself. I wish I had been introduced to this empowering content earlier in my life, so I am doing my best to educate parents and teachers about your work so that they can hopefully pass on the benefit to their children."
Anne Kubitsky, Lookforthegoodproject.org
“Thank you for such a wonderful and meaningful experience. This class was truly one of the best things I have done in my training to be a therapist (and probably to be a person in the world too!). I love how simple yet profound the lessons are and have been trying to incorporate them into my work and life. You both and the other trainers brought a lovely grounded warmth and professionalism to the experience. I will certainly recommend it to others (and do further training in AEDP!).”
-Linda Siegel, Class Participant
"I'm very much enjoying and getting a lot from this course ladies, thank you. The container you have created offers an open and sharing space for folks to come together with intention to better understand, and be with, ourselves; complex emotions and all that comes with having a beating heart. I've loved the psycho-education and the need to 'not fix' rather 'be with' myself... and what's happening inside. Participants' willingness to be vulnerable, and to share openly, has been so helpful in acknowledging 'me too', and feeling understood. Beyond class, I'm slowly showing up for myself in deeper awareness, more subtle and gentle ways too. I feel that I'm cultivating a more intimate level of 'emotional awareness' within, the good and the not-so-good, and am finding I'm less judgemental of myself in it all. A lifetimes' work. Thank You for creating and -so helpfully- facilitating this active learning group."

“I’m loving the course and learning so much.” -Anonymous
“I wanted to take the course because I want to be my authentic self. At the beginning, I didn't think it would be possible because I didn't understand how one knows when they are being authentic. I think I understand now. I don't know if it can happen for me but you have given me the tools to know how. It's up to me to do it.” -Anonymous
