B3 09 Working with Worry Order Form

The purpose of this course is to empower participants with an understanding of how to work through one of nature’s most basic emotions: fear. Participants are taught the evolutionary role of worry and how to use this knowledge to appreciate the emotion for its natural, yet often misguided, efforts. Participants learn that worry is meant to alert the mind-body to the possibility of a threat so that they could be mobilized to problem solve. However, the emotion is separate from the process of problem solving, and oftentimes, worry hinders effective problem solving and demobilizes people. Participants are encouraged to befriend their worries, but not necessarily give in to them. They learn the basic principles of worry, how to shift their felt experience of it, and how to build up their tolerance for uncertainty. Participants learn to grow from being a worrier, someone who is weighed down by fear, into a warrior, someone that feels the fear and does it anyway.
