Intention

A lot of the information presented today may be new for you, and some of it might be upsetting or stressful


You may experience feelings of anger, fear, anxiety, sadness, defensiveness


Notice what’s coming up for you and acknowledge it without judgement


Notice how your nervous system is responding, and do what you need to do to regulate so you can stay engaged


The goal is not to do anything differently right now – just to stay open and listen
