Have you ever...

• Had a recurring or distressing memory that seems to pop out of nowhere and upsets you?

• Been easily irritated, angered or upset by something you either heard someone benignly say or do?

• Been overly critical of yourself and suffer from self-blame and/or negative self-talk?

If you've answered Yes to any of those questions, then this bonus session just may be helpful for you, too!

Kathy has her own story of overcoming adversity--she was a victim of domestic abuse and suffered from PTSD for many years. She has since learned how to heal from her trauma using her insights.

In this Talk, she'll cover her 3-step process that may help you...

• Learn how to distinguish between "historical memories" versus "emotional memories"

• Create enough mental space to stop being "emotionally reactive" to circumstances and situations, and

• Learn how to stop living in the past, open your heart to the beauty that surrounds us in the present and all that life has to offer.

• And, yes, gaining back your life again!

This presentation is jammed-packed with information, and so it's highly recommended to take notes.

Hope to see you all there!
