Dr. Jerry Bockoven Speaking Topics
The ability to absorb, cope with, and even grow from painful emotional experiences is like a treasure chest full of gold doubloons. The problem is that this precious treasure is buried in very unexpected places. This presentation will reveal the map that shows us where to dig. Attendees will hear the secrets of emotional resilience as it applies to anxiety, grief, anger, and depression. Lively stories, good-natured humor, and homespun poems will also be a part of the treasure hunt.
Anxiety is a part of life and can be a friend or foe depending on how we deal with it. This presentation will explore the nature and purposes of anxiety and offer common-sense advice focused on turning anxiety to our advantage. Lively stories, good-natured humor, and homespun poems will also be a part of the exploration.
Difficult interactions with others are a part of life. Sometimes our emotional reactions to these situations nag us long after the interaction has ended. These leftover reactions can increase stress, decrease focus, and interfere with productivity. This presentation will address ways to manage and overcome lingering reactions to difficult interactions using internal self-talk and radical acceptance.
Attendees will be able to...
Name 3 common emotional reactions to difficult interactions.
Explain the relationship between avoidance and persistent emotional reactions.
Identify ways in which the observing-self facilitates the release of nagging thoughts.
Define radical acceptance as it applies to emotional reactivity.
The mind generates thousands of thoughts every day. Many of these thoughts are useful in moving us toward our goals and dreams. Some, however, are anchors that only serve to drag us down. This presentation will open up the possibilities of examining our thoughts as a way to take greater control of our lives. Common-sense examples and strategies will be covered in a light-hearted and entertaining atmosphere, complete with stories and homespun poetry.
When we lose someone dear to us, we go through the difficult and painful emotional territory of grief. There is, however, a type of grief that sneaks up on us and causes difficulties that we didn't see coming. This presentation addresses the importance of grieving the loss of different aspects of our lives, such as home, job, independence, pets, health, or anything else we love and lose.
