Let’s get your spark back!
Congratulations on making it here! I’m beyond excited to start working together.
On this page you will find all the pre-work videos and questions.
Work through the videos in the order they show up on this page.
It should take about one hour.
I look forward to hearing from you when you’re done!
Pre-Work Videos
Welcome! (4:13)
Welcome and what to expect from this series of videos!
Our Stress Responses (6:23)
More about the specific ways stress responses show up at work.
Reflection Exercise:
How does your stress response tend to show up? What are the specific ways you experience your stress response? Do you typically fall into one response or a couple?
Emotions and Parts (8:25)
The heart of this workshop!
Reflection Exercise:
Look at your stress response notes. Are there any “parts”?
What do they think is happening? What do they want you to do?
Notice, is this pattern familiar? Do “these kinds of things” seem to happen to you? Do you often find yourself reacting this way?
When Parts Get Polarized (2:15)
Reflection Exercise:
When it comes to work, what conflicts do you have about it? What perspective is on each side? Can you see those two sides as two parts, or constellations of parts?
Notice if you have one part or multiple parts showing up? Which one tends to be more “in front” or louder?
How do they tend to relate to each other?
Bringing In Presence (2:34)
Reflection Exercise:
Can you think of a time where you really felt like yourself? When you felt open and curious and in flow with things?
What did that feel like for you?
How did you feel towards yourself in that moment?
Building Relationships With Parts (4:00)
Reflection Exercise:
Check in with the loudest part. What are they worried will happen if they don’t keep driving? What are they protecting you from? What are they trying to do for you?
Recognizing Positive Intentions (2:20)
Reflection Exercise:
Share your gratitude with this part for looking out for you and for their level of commitment.
You can just imagine reflecting your gratitude to them. You might want to put a hand where you feel them most (e.g. chest/belly/heart).
Notice what happens when you do this. How does the part respond? How does your body feel?
Thank you!
I’m very grateful for your time and attention. Your time here will allow us to dive right together when we start working.
