Class Experience

When we talk with others about positive things that have happened to us, these moments help us feel closer to one another. In this class,  the student will learn how to share and respond to positive stories shared in a way that nurtures positive feelings and a sense of closeness with others. 

As humans, we are drawn to negative stories because being tuned in to things that can harm us helps us predict when we will encounter a challenging situation. That said, it is also important, and natural to humans, to share when things go right. Providing support and encouragement for others not only helps them feel better, it helps us feel better, too. Talking about positive events together creates a shared positive experience that helps everyone involved feel good. 

So in this class, the student will learn how to recognize positive things in their lives and tell others about them. I will also coach them in how to respond to the positive stories told by others in ways that enhance these stories for everyone.

A NOTE ABOUT THE COST OF THIS CLASS:

I know the price of my classes is higher than many others on Outschool. As an experienced and talented educator, I believe I'm worth this amount and invite you to look at my reviews. That said, I don't want any family to be priced out of what I offer. Whatever your financial situation, if you're interested in one or more of my classes, please reach out and let me know what you can afford. I can provide coupons, refunds, and/or reductions, and am confident we can find an equitable rate that works for you and me.
