AATH 2018 Conference San Diego

Participants will explore and become aware of their own processes for managing grief, pain, or change. Through this engaging presentation, audience members will hear real-life examples of where others have made the connection between pain + humor + healing + resiliency in their lives. Audience members will learn the rules of improvisation (Yes, And…; Be in the present moment, and Give-and-Take) and how they can be applied to managing their pain or loss and allowing it to morph into to resiliency and joy.

Finding the funny in stressful situations can help us feel safe. Even if the situation may not have changed that drastically, finding the funny in a situation can create a protective barrier around our emotions. Julie will introduce improv skills as an application into the healing process.
