Hi, I’m Emma!

As a licensed therapist I’ve come to see how SO many people are suffering simply because they don’t know about the skills that will help them. And good therapy can be really hard to access – therapy is freaking expensive, and it can be hard to find a great therapist, and even if you’re in therapy, we want to save those precious office hours for in-person interventions, but learning those crucial skills is something we can supplement between sessions. As a therapist, I wished there were simple, clear videos teaching the skills that make a huge difference, but I couldn’t find them anywhere. So, I decided to make them myself.

Here’s What Students Are Saying

Hear what Tiffany has to say about the course:

This has been a phenomenal experience! I’m more in control of my emotions and more honest about my feelings and thoughts towards my emotions. I feel a deep responsibility for my own progress…and my progress only! I can feel the weight lifting off of me when I focus on my Locus of Control. Thanks again. I can’t wait to take more of your courses.

The Emotion Processing Course Changed Dori’s Life:

Your (course) on Processing Emotions is having a profound effect on my life. Quick examples: This morning I caught myself singing – it’s been years. I have been laughing again! My thoughts are less likely to be dark and sad when using information you teach. No longer trying to live on just “Hope”. I have added “Action,” and what a difference it has made. Thank you for making these videos available to me. I sing their praises to all family or friends who could benefit from watching them!

A Psychologist Says:

I’m a psychologist and I have been begging everyone I know for a resource like this for 10 years, TRUE STORY!! First, I’ve searched high and low for a FREE CREDIBLE AUDIO resource to improve my own clinical skills and knowledge. These videos are 1) academically and empirically sound, 2) truly effective life skills when applied, and 3) so delightfully accessible and comprehensible to my brain (such as the WONDERFUL real life examples she gives for each clinical concept)…Just the two videos on motivation and avoidance have changed my life…just imagine what the hours and hours of other videos have done for me. My heart is bursting with gratitude. -Real review from student “Freud-ita”

What if I change too much?
How will this affect my life?

This is a legit fear. You’re already good at being anxious and depressed. You’re already good at being stressed out. What if we learn another skill? And it’s like, oh, now you’re good at being calm and relaxed too. You can always go back to being who you were if you want.

What if this doesn’t work?

No risk! Try it out and if you don’t see how it’s going to improve your life, cancel any time. There is a 14-day money back guarantee.
