Transforming Stress into Health & Strength
Tuesday, November 27th- noon to 1:00 PM - STEV 3042 -
Jan Ögren, MFT
Stress: work, holiday, family - those gut-clenching, jaw-grinding unwanted moments of change and uncertainty are usually very detrimental to our health. Unless, we learn how to change our automatic responses and create a habit of balance and strength. Using the principles of Aikido and neurophysiology we will explore what our individual reaction patterns are and practice using stress to increase our ability to be centered and strong.
Jan Ögren, MFT – is a licensed psychotherapist, public speaker and international author. She has a private practice in Santa Rosa where she specializes in trauma recovery, addictions and transformation.
