You were engaging. This is great. I like the pyramid in general. I want to learn more about it. Understanding barriers to feeling and expressing our emotions is good. I want to learn more about this too. Attendee CAGT 2016
Engaging
I like how you teach describe the intensity of your emotions like different colored flags flying on a beach. Also, I like how the part about does the color of your flag match what’s actually happening on the beach helps refocus. Attendee CAGT 2016
What color flag
Thank you again for everything you have done for both my son and myself! He has been coming home happier than I have seen him in years, and more willing to share about his day at school than ever before. He is setting his alarm clock without reminders, taking showers without reminders, making his lunch, and seeking teachers for clarification of assignments!!!! When I tried to remind him about something last week, he said, “If you want me to be independent, let me be independent and figure it out for myself.” I am so happy that he is taking the initiative on his own! I am thrilled. With deepest appreciation! From the Mom of an 8th/ now 9th grade gifted boy.

Creative Exploration
I like the analogy of ocean waves and emotion waves – and that there are degrees of feelings, just like different colored flags on an ocean beach. I want more time to learn about this!

Thank you so much! Honestly, this really helps me understand myself a lot better and learn that I can heal myself and find my place in life. I feel that I’m not alone with my feelings and sensitivity. HA 10-19-2014
