A 10 Week Journey Into Understanding Your Emotional Behaviour
This course can be taken as a standalone self-awareness program or as part of the SoulLife® Psychology Practitioner pathway.
Bruises are planned you were born with and a framework for self-awareness.
Bruises help you understand your behaviour, why you are the way you are and how it affects your relationships.
It helps you understand
- why you react the way you do
- why certain emotional experiences affect you so deeply
- why some relationship patterns keep repeating
- why certain people activate strong emotions within you
- why you keep responding in ways you wish you wouldn’t
Emotional bruises are part of the blueprint you are born with. They are not created by life. Life reinforces and activates what already exists within the psyche.
Your bruise influences how you experience relationships, interpret events, respond emotionally and organise behaviour throughout life.
Over 10 weeks you will develop a deeper understanding of the emotional experiences driving your behaviour and begin seeing yourself with greater clarity, compassion and self-awareness.
This course is designed to help your behaviour make sense.
You will leave understanding
“This is why I react this way.”
“This is what keeps happening in my relationships.”
“I finally understand what is driving my behaviour.”
“I can see myself differently now.”
Through practical exercises, self-reflection and real-life examples, you will learn how bruises influence relationships, self-worth, emotional reactions, communication and everyday life.
By the end of the course, you will understand yourself more clearly and respond to life with greater awareness.
