Feelings: How to Make them Work for You

by Jonathan Noto

What do you want in life? It’s a tough question for some, and others can’t narrow the list down to find a reasonable answer. However, it’s a question that affects every one of us in very meaningful ways.

In this presentation, I explain the approach we use to find out the answer and help us pursue what it is that we really want. At the Center for Christian Life Enrichment, we use an emotionally-focused approach to understanding our clients and ourselves. Watch this 20-minute webinar to learn the basics of these powerful strategies.

This 20-minute presentation was originally broadcast on May 25th, 2011 and is now available for you to enjoy at your own convenience. It is best viewed in full-screen mode (the button with the four arrows) to better read the slides.
