The Six Core Principles

03
Empowering vs. Disempowering Language
How phrases like "I have to" quietly take away the agency you actually have.
04
Rewriting the Stories in Our Heads
Separating the facts of what happened from the meaning we've attached to it.
05
Signal vs. Solution
Learning to respect painful emotions as information instead of ignoring or being ruled by them.
