Psychological Flexibility: Adapting to Change and Staying in the Present

“I should not have done/said that. I wish I could take it back.” “I should not have gotten so angry and reacted so strongly.” “I can’t believe I messed up again. I should have known better.” “I shouldn’t be so stressed. I shouldn’t feel this way.” “I  always ruin things for myself. Why can’t I just be happy?”

What do these statements have in common? They all reveal a struggle with accepting and adapting to our thoughts and emotions. They highlight an internal conflict and a desire to change or suppress natural responses rather than understanding and working with them. This is where psychological flexibility comes in. Our thoughts and feelings impact every aspect of our lives. So, developing the skill to respond effectively to them is essential.
This 60-minute webinar facilitated by psychologist and coach Roxana-Cristina Petrus, is perfect for anyone looking to enhance their self-awareness and adaptability. Learn valuable strategies to adapt to internal and external experiences while aligning actions with values. Bring your openness and curiosity and feel encouraged to share and learn!

Attendees will:
*Understand the concept of psychological flexibility and its significance
*Identify barriers to being open, flexible and present with our thoughts, emotions and behaviors
*Practice cognitive diffusion and learn how to gain distance from critical thoughts
*Discover unique ways to connect with your values and how to align them with your goals and actions
