Testimonials:
From Previous ESD Participants – Fall 2020 & Spring 2021 Programs
“My stress level decreased immensely. Prior to the program, there were times where I felt so overwhelmed I would just breakdown. During the program, I found myself changing the way I reacted to my thoughts or feelings. I would do my best to simply note thoughts and really worked on taking deep breaths. I practiced compassion towards myself instead of being critical.”
“Of all the things our district has focused on this year with regard to mental health, this was hands down the best choice they could have made. As educators, we are taught to sacrifice often and burn the candle at both ends. This program truly was about doing something for yourself. That was the main focus. Thank you so very much for coming to us with your warmth and generosity. It was exactly what I needed.”
“Very impactful! I wasn't so reactionary to things that made me upset, even in the slightest way.”
“The delivery and insight was so well-managed. Each week, Ryan & Rena built on prior information. It felt like a natural expansion and exploration of the topics, and at the same time, each weekly session felt complete and thoughtfully helpful.”
“I have high expectations for myself and feel like I constantly fall short. I was reminded to look at the successes, use a kind, complimentary tone with myself. It was very calming and left me feeling less stressed.”
“This is the most success I’ve ever had meditating and applying it in life. I’ve made one major discovery that I plan to continue work on, unconditional positive regard. In day-to-day life it is so easy to get trapped inside our own heads and disregard strangers around us. I am finding more compassion for everyone and hope we can all become better, even just a little bit.”
“Aside from the techniques, I have learned that I need to make time to take care of my emotional and physical needs.”
“I was made aware of how little time I gave to take care of my personal needs. This thought shift has been extremely impactful on my daily life and the things I am doing.”
“This helps me get out of my own way, and not make things into bigger problems or issues than they are, or even allows me to let things go, something that has always been very difficult for me.”
