Relief

You may have experienced eating something that had gone bad. Sometimes you still can’t tolerate the food in question years later. The mere thought or smell of it can provoke a sense of repulsion, even though there’s nothing wrong with it.

How does that work? And why is this relevant to personal development, the way we have relationships and even how we shape our experience of reality? In RELIEF, change-expert, researcher, trainer, and coach Wassili Zafiris explores the connection between our psychological and relational wellbeing and surprising new neuroscientific insights into the emergence of emotions.

New research reveals that many issues we call ‘psychological’, ‘social’, or even ‘trauma’, often have a visceral foundation. Gut feelings, a knot in your stomach, shivers down your spine, restlessness, feeling trapped, not feeling understood, supported, or loved. Most people have experienced such feelings at one time or another. Your body is telling you something. But in many cases, the message is not what you think.

RELIEF sheds new light on how relational problems as well as issues like stress, anxiety and chronic limiting patterns and feelings emerge. You will discover that a deeper understanding of how we create our emotions, relationships and even our experience of reality can help you change what seemed almost unchangeable.
