Using Shape of Emotion to dial down stress, anxiety and other difficult emotions in Kliptown
Shape of Emotion is a remarkably powerful, yet deceptively simple process, developed by 5th Place, to address the impact that difficult emotions like stress and anxiety (amongst others) have on individuals. The process is largely content-free in nature. There is no need to expose oneself, unpack or spend any extended time analysing what or why you feel the way you do. It is safe, easy to learn and use and quickly clears the effects of difficult emotions allowing for a return to a centred, resourceful state.
