Have you ever known exactly how you should respond in a difficult moment...and then done something completely different?
Maybe you lash out. Shut down. Get defensive. Dig in your heels. Or feel so overwhelmed that it's difficult to think clearly at all.
In Relational Life Therapy, we use a simple model to help make sense of these reactions: The Wounded Child, the Adaptive Child, and the Wise Adult.
In this free 45-minute mini masterclass, we'll explore these three key parts of the Self, how they relate to different brain states, and why understanding them can help us respond differently when we feel triggered.
Most importantly, we'll talk about practical ways to notice when a reactive part has taken over and find our way back to the Wise Adult—the part of us capable of staying grounded, thoughtful, and relational even when things get difficult.
