Being able to help others regulate their emotions is such a key skill in parenting, in relationships, in work, and in life. This workshop gives people emotional regulation tools and practice reps using those tools in different scenarios. I teach the resonance method, which is kind of like an evolution of active listening, and I teach it by doing role play demos and practice. If it's a group of parents, the scenarios might be a kid upset because their sibling hit them, or they're throwing food, or they fell and are hurt, or they don't want to leave the playground. The scenarios are suggested live by the group. I've done workshops for: groups of couples, a women leaders group, parents at a nature school, and employees at a community housing company, etc. The default format is one hour long, 8-20 people, sitting together and doing scenario based role play. **Quotes from prior hosts:** ![[eyra_circular_noresize.png|40]] **Eyra Leeper, VP of Housing at CHIP**, workshop host: "Chris Barber’s Resonance workshop provided our housing team with a powerful opportunity to pause, reflect, and reconnect. It strengthened our communication and deepened our sense of purpose as a team" ![[corinne_circular.png|40]] **Dr. Corinne Devin, Training Committee Member at Junior League San Diego**, workshop host: "We walked away with simple, practical tools to: Strengthen empathy and connection, Improve emotional regulation in conversations, and build deeper trust in both personal and professional relationships. Big thanks to Chris for such a thoughtful session, and to JLSD for prioritizing this kind of growth." ![[erika_circular.png|40]] **Erika Williams, Founder & Director of Nature Scouts Collective**, workshop host: "It was very refreshing to have Chris come and share his knowledge of resonance with our community. Our teachers practice this daily with our students, but it was great to make the home-school connection with the parents. They were able to practice the language through different scenarios that they could relate to in their own lives with their children. I highly recommend!"
