Trauma and the Nervous System
How does trauma and chronic stress affects our nervous system and how do these things impact our health and well-being. Much of the content is based on the groundbreaking work of Stephen Porges and his Polyvagal Theory.
Nonviolent Communication
In this funny, personal, and honest look at the way we as humans approach communication, Yoram Mosenzon teaches us the difference between true honesty, and what we often think is honesty and try to hide.
Emotional Self-Mastery
What often blocks people from feeling capable in life is how they handle unpleasant feelings. These challenging emotions lie at the heart of confidence, emotional strength, and resilience.
