Dealing with emotions
Intense emotions and feelings: often you want to get rid of them as soon as possible. Even if it works counterproductive and it only worsens the struggle you’re in. It costs a lot of energy to struggle with emotions and feelings. It can induce fretting, sleeping problems, feeling increasingly frightened or depressed, or not feeling comfortable in your own skin in general. In the long term being stuck in emotions can even lead to physical complaints. Therefore, it is important to deal with awkward emotions and feelings in a constructive way. Wondering how you can learn to do so? I’m happy to tell you all about it during the online training course ‘Dealing with emotions’.
During the online training course Dealing with emotions you gain more insight into emotions and feelings. You learn how they’re naturally connected to other aspects of your human nature, like needs and longings, instincts, thoughts and inspiration. You learn what is needed in order to experience peace in contact with emotions and feelings. And what influence you can exert on it yourself.
Combined with the online training course, you can receive additional guidance, individually or with your team.
This is what you need
Would you also like to find peace and balance in dealing with emotions? Are you looking for a training course that supports you in building a firm basis? Then you’ll definitely benefit from the online course ‘Dealing with emotions’, with or without additional guidance. The Dealing with emotions training course helps you with what you truly need in order to create peace and balance in your daily life:
1. A clear view on who you are: you need to get to know yourself. Who are you and what you do truly need? What keeps you awake at night? How do you deal with intense emotions? What are the underlying motives of your daily actions? Getting to know the ‘real life’ version of yourself, including all the bad habits, tricks and procrastination, gives you direction.
2. The embracement of unwanted visitors: it is necessary for you to (learn to) deal with ‘unwanted visitors’. They are the unexpected physical sensations, pain, emotions, feelings, thoughts or behavioral patters that arise as soon as you relax or sense emotions.
During the Dealing with emotions training course you not only learn why it is important to welcome them, you also learn how to do this yourself, step by step. However, there’s no need for you to start liking the unwanted visitors. In the end, the goal is to no longer chase them away. You learn to develop a mindset and behavioral patterns that help you to endure the visitors. 
Whenever you’d like to know more about this: in my book The wisdom behind emotion and feeling I explain, on a deeper level, how to naturally deal with emotions and pain.
3. A smart, well-thought-out structure: once you’ve started your inner journey, you sometimes need to be able to hold on to something that guides you through the fog or difficult moments. A structure that you trust. That helps you to move on, without hurrying or skipping steps on the way. An experience-based structure that is composed based on your needs and the experiences of hundreds of people before you.
The Dealing with emotions online training course offers you such a structure. It is not always possible to maintain a clear view and simultaneously get to know yourself better. Therefore, it is often pleasant to (partially) let go of control in order to experience. This way you can gain new experiences that support you to grow from the inside out. That’s how you gradually change the way you experience your daily life.
4. Interaction with your teacher and co-students: whenever you run into questions during the online course, it would be useful to be able to ask your teacher. Book one or more individual sessions (using Skype or phone) or join a group training. During guidance sessions and training there is plenty of room for individual alignment, connecting to your unique personal and professional background and answering your questions.
It can also be useful to share your experiences with other students as well. Since everyone has a different background, you can learn a lot from each other. Whenever you go through a process of change and inner growth, it is important to (continue to) express what lives inside of you. Sharing experiences is enriching for yourself but also for your co-students and teacher.
5. A notebook to write it all down: whatever it is that you’ve experienced when you deal with emotions, you need to write down your experiences. By doing so, you’re invited to observe what happens. Writing helps to let go of emotions and fears, by acknowledging them and giving them the right to exist. Writing also helps you to move beyond control issues. From the moment that you’ve written down how things have been for you, you’re able to surrender to the next moment without worrying or clinging to it.
Your notebook is your external memory. It enables you to live through processes of inner growth and to experience all sorts of unexpected feelings with it. In due time you can re-read your notes and discover patterns that you were previously unaware of.

Guidance tracks
Once you have decided that you want to deepen your insight and skills in dealing with emotions via me, you may want to opt for a guidance track during the purchase or after. You can choose between individual guidance or a group training.
A guidance track offers you all the advantages of live contact: during one hour (individual guidance) or one or several days (group training) I tune in on who you are and what you need to develop yourself fully.
When you book an individual guidance session I reserve time for you and it guarantees my presence and full attention. In consultation, you can decide in which way you’d like to use this time. We have contact through Skype, phone or you can visit my office in the Netherlands.
When you follow a group training (mostly Incompany, at times open enrollment is also possible), I divide my time in 2 separate days of group training on location. In between the group training sessions you can have an individual contact moment with me via Skype or phone, 2 or 3 times.
The online course will be available from May 2019 on. You can find more information about the guidance tracks in the price table below. Or you can contact me.
Good to know
The online course will be available from May 2019 on.
Both the online course and the guidance tracks are developed at an academic level (higher educational level or equivalent ability). If you’d like to enroll in the online course ‘Dealing with emotions’ in combination with Individual guidance or a Group training, please send me an email with your name, phone number and a brief description of who you are and why you’d want to join. I’ll contact you within 2 working days so we can arrange the practical aspects.
Bear in mind: unless there’s an open enrollment training scheduled in the agenda, a group training is only possible Incompany.
After we’ve received your payment, we can get started. You’ll receive a code (‘coupon’) that gives you ‘free’ access to the online course in the webshop.
TIP: when you’d like to go through the online course in 14 weeks, I advise you to take 2 weeks for each lesson. Going through each lesson (video, audio, do it yourself assignment, guided meditation) initially takes about one hour of your time. Once you start to repeat a lesson, it can go quicker.
Exercise twice a week in order to gain enough experiences. This way you enable yourself to actually acquire the insights and skills that you long for.
Of course, you can spend more time going through each lesson before you move on to the next. Attune to what you need and learn at your own pace.
