Whole-Self Thriving Series: Course 1
Learn how to change the ways you cope and free yourself from bad emotional habits.
If you have ever felt stuck repeating emotional patterns and behaviors that cause you unhappiness, this course is for you.
Our body’s natural responses to crises can create deeply seated emotional patterns that make us feel trapped in unhealthy reactions to stress. In this course you will learn how to recognize and change the way your body and mind react to stress by identifying the core values and needs that underlie those reactions.
This course includes a cutting-edge model of the relationship between the sympathetic nervous system and emotional coping strategies created by Dr. Lucille Isadora Tures. This model is exclusively used in the course taught through Theama Institute. These courses are designed to be accessible to beginners however, due to the novel approach to the topic those with an in-depth understanding of trauma theory, polyvagal theory, non-violent communication, internal family system etc. may also benefit from this material.

Whole-Self Thriving Series: Course 3
Learn how to build a better relationship with yourself.

You will learn to identify your inner parts, then build self-compassion and inner harmony.
Fans of inner-child work and IFS will likely enjoy this fresh take on Parts-work.
