COURSE
Therapy Toolkit: Move From Fear To Fearless
With Charles Freligh
In this 10-day course, Charles will share some core principles he has found useful in his experience as a psychotherapist, with a particular focus on facing the existential realities of life. By exploring why it can be so challenging for us to “just be present,” or why we repeat self-defeating patterns, these teachings will help you identify areas that you may be feeling stuck in your life and how to live in a way that is less avoidant, more present, and increasingly authentic. You will develop a clarified sense of your “false self” and will learn strategies to help you embrace your “less false self” despite the fear of doing so, which can ultimately result in reduced anxiety, anger, sadness, and regret in life. Some sessions will provide more content and others will provide more practical or experiential exercises to offer a complementary combination of the conceptual and the practical.

Hi Charles I really enjoyed this course; the hourglass/spacesuit metaphors resonate deeply with me. I have a character named Randy Chances that performs stand up/improv and has a bit where his inner child shows up before a show—great fun and not a little silly😝 Keep up the good work! Peace, Wayland

Another great course by Charles! It would have been perfect if the music at the beginning of each day wasn't so loud. I'm also waiting for a response to my spacesuit question...

Very helpful thank you Charles for all the great tools and teachings you have provided on insight timer. Interested if you can recommend an Alan Watts book..I've listened to a few but there seems to be many.

Wonderful tools that actually help. I have plenty of neuroses, and Charles Freligh gently and carefully explains how to use those tools to address my challenges. I particularly like the train station metaphor; that empty station platform with me on a bench in the middle is my place to quickly recenter. Plus, Dr Freligh has a melodic, soothing voice.

Wow! I did this course to get a feel for Charles’ approach to working with his clients, because I’m going to become one next month. Loved this course; loved the visual images, the exercises, the authenticity. I especially loved the image of the less false self - that we are all born as perfect masterpieces that just need to be released from the marble. I’m so looking forward to working with you, Charles. Thank you for everything so far 🙏☺️
