Build On Your Strengths: Workshops for Your Well-Being

Shame is a master of disguise.

It doesn’t usually announce itself. Instead, it mimics your own inner voice.

It sounds like logic. It sounds like the truth.

• “I am too much.”
• “I should be further along by now.”
• “If I just tried harder, I could fix this.”

We'll review the three cruel tricks of shame and how to combat them.

The Difference Between "I Did Bad" and "I Am Bad": Most of us confuse guilt with shame. Guilt is helpful: “I made a mistake.” It helps us repair relationships and change behavior. Shame is destructive: “I am a mistake.” It attacks our identity. It tells us we are fundamentally flawed, unlovable, or broken.

When shame takes over, we don’t just feel bad—we feel unsafe. We hide. We over-function. We shut down. We try to earn a sense of worth that we actually never lost.

In this workshop, we are going to treat the infection.
We will move beyond the vague advice to "just love yourself" and use specific, practical tools to dismantle shame in real-time.

What We Will Explore:

• The Vocabulary of Worth: How to distinguish between Guilt, Shame, and being Ashamed—and why Self-Worth isn't something you build, but something you uncover.
• The Scripts of Shame: Identifying the specific phrases the "Shame Vendor" sells you every day (and how to stop buying them).
• Cognitive Management: How to use logic and The Quarantine Method to stop a shame spiral before it consumes your day.
• The Antidote: Why Self-Compassion isn't just "being nice" to yourself—it is the biological reset switch that turns off your threat response and allows you to feel safe again.

You do not have to live at the mercy of your inner critic. You are not the problem. Shame is just a script you were taught—and it is a script you can rewrite.

• Recording: All participants will receive the workshop recording and the slide deck within 24 hours.

This is a coaching intensive, not a workshop.

This is a coaching intensive, not a workshop.
If you’ve ever thought:
• “Why do I keep reacting like this?”
• “I know better… but I still spiral.”
• “My inner critic gets loud and I don’t know how to stop it.”
• “Anxiety hijacks me before I can think clearly.”
You’re not alone.
In my free workshop, I talked about the idea of “parts” — the different voices and reactions inside us.
But understanding the concept is very different from knowing what to do when it’s happening in real time.
This 2-hour intensive is about that moment.
When anxiety spikes.
When self-criticism gets loud.
When you feel pulled in two directions internally.
Instead of fighting those reactions or trying to overpower them, you’ll learn how to:
• Recognize what’s happening internally
• Slow the reaction before it escalates
• Ask the right internal questions
• Begin a productive dialogue instead of spiraling
This is skill-building. Not trauma processing.
You won’t be asked to share anything you don’t want to.

## What Makes This Different?

This is a small group (20 max) Zoom meeting — not a webinar.
You’ll experience:
• Clear teaching — What’s actually happening inside you when anxiety or self-criticism shows up
• Guided practice — Step-by-step support as you learn how to respond differently
• Live demo — Watch me coach a volunteer through real-time parts work
• Optional coaching — Bring your own challenge and get personalized feedback
You’ll leave with a repeatable framework you can use the next time anxiety or inner conflict appears.

## Who This Is For

This is for you if:
• You struggle with anxiety, an inner critic, or feeling triggered
• You’ve tried to “think your way out” of it and it hasn’t worked
• You want practical tools — not just insight
No prior experience with IFS required.

If you’ve ever thought, “I just wish I could talk this through with Jeremy,” this is that opportunity — in a small group format.

The Integration Circle is live coaching.

Each month, you can bring a real situation you’re dealing with, and I’ll coach you through it. We’ll look at what happened, explore what came up for you internally, review your options, and work through how to move forward — especially focusing on the skills that will actually help in that moment.

That might sound like:

• “I tried to set a boundary and completely froze.”
• “My inner critic has been relentless this week.”
• "I can't seem to stop thinking about this particular thing."
• “I keep overreacting with my partner and I don’t know why.”
• “I know this is anxiety, but I can’t seem to calm it down.”
• “I keep avoiding something important and I don’t understand what’s blocking me.”

You bring the real-life situation. We slow it down and unpack it together.
The rest of the group learns by watching the process. You don’t just get insight — you see how these tools are actually applied in real time. Often you’ll recognize yourself in someone else’s situation, even if the details are different.
It’s similar to individual coaching, but in a small group setting and at a fraction of the cost.

This space is for people who don’t need more theory — you already understand the concepts. What you want is practical guidance when life gets messy. Maybe you’re not ready for 1:1 coaching, or maybe you simply don’t need that level of support. But you do want help applying the tools in real situations.

You can volunteer to be coached, or you can simply observe and learn. There’s no requirement to attend every month, and you don’t need to have attended any of my workshops before joining.
This isn’t lecture-based, and it isn’t trauma processing. It’s real-time problem-solving with support. Bring whatever you’re working on, and we’ll figure it out together.

This group is for people who are already familiar with my workshops and core frameworks and are trying to apply them to their lives.

Trouble Sleeping? Try Adding “Station Stops” to Your Day

Ever end the day wired but exhausted—your body ready for sleep, but your mind still racing? You collapse onto the couch, but your brain keeps replaying the day.

That’s because your nervous system is like a speeding train, still running at full speed.

I will explore how real rest starts long before bedtime. You’ll learn how to spot overload early, add small “station stops” throughout your day to help your system reset, and create a simple wind-down routine that actually works.

You'll end the evening with a list of new things to try, and not just abstract ideas.

You'll learn:
Why Sleep Is Actually Hard
Your nervous system needs to feel safe enough to let go. If you're carrying stress, anxiety, or unprocessed emotions from the day, your body won't relax. We'll talk about what's really happening when you can't fall asleep or stay asleep.
Station Stops: Micro-Resets Throughout Your Day
Small moments of regulation during the day prevent overwhelm at night. You'll learn how to build "station stops"—brief pauses that help your nervous system reset before bedtime.
Wind-Down Routines That Actually Work
Not bubble baths and chamomile tea (unless that works for you). We'll focus on nervous system cues that signal safety: grounding practices, breathwork, and self-compassion techniques that help your body transition into rest.
What to Do When You Wake Up at 3am
Practical tools for middle-of-the-night wakefulness: distraction techniques, body-based grounding, and how to calm racing thoughts without fighting them.
Guided Mindfulness Practice
We'll do a brief mindfulness meditation together so you experience what settling your nervous system actually feels like.

What You'll Walk Away With:

• A personalized wind-down routine you can start using tonight
• Practical daytime habits that support nighttime rest
• Tools for managing middle-of-the-night anxiety
• A digital worksheet to build your own going-to-sleep routine

Sleep isn't just about what you do at 10pm. It's about how you care for your nervous system all day long.
