12-Week Group Coaching
Tuesdays 5:30 pm - 6:30 pm EST
Starting January 3rd 2023, I'm facilitating a 12-week group coaching program for 2nd - 12th graders (two groups LOWER/UPPER GRADES) who desire to grow in their emotional resilience and resolve social problems.
In this 12-week program, I'm going to interact with students face-to-face via ZOOM to teach and troubleshoot their personal challenges.
Research shows that group coaching is the BEST form of therapy for adolescence.

TOO MUCH TO LIST... but I'll jot down a very brief overview of the curriculum:
- Do you believe it?
Students learn that verbal direct aggression (name calling, criticizing, or lying) can only cause subjective harm, based on their interpretation of the words. They will learn how to look past the words and focus on the intent of the aggressor. -
Are you hurt?
Students learn that nonverbal direct aggression (pushing, tripping, gesturing that doesn't cause pain) can only cause subjective harm, based on their interpretation of the provocation. They will learn how to build up their physical resilience by expanding their tolerance towards physical provocations. -
Is it true?
Students learn that verbal indirect aggression (rumors/gossip/trolling) can only cause subjective harm, based on their interpretation of the behavior. They will learn how gossip feeds on their upsetness, and how to "kill the gossip" by "starving it to death." -
What else can you do?
In this lesson, students learn that nonverbal indirect aggression (avoiding, ignoring, and excluding) can only cause subjective harm, based on their interpretation of the exclusion. They will learn the sociological value of exclusion and why it's important to preserve resources and values. - How could this have been worse?
Students learn how to improve their mood from "devastated mad" to "disappointed sad". They will learn how to talk themselves off the ledge of irrationality, "give up the grip" of rigid demands, and compare their unfortunate situation with someone else less fortunate. The 6 "roots" to irrational thought will be introduced. - Why won't this matter in your future?
Students learn how to improve their mood from "disappointed sad" to "indifferent meh". They will learn how to keep the problem in its proper size, recognizing and embracing the insignificance of the event in comparison to their life-long timeline. The 6 "ANTS" of automatic negative thinking will be introduced. -
How could this turn out for your good?
Students learn how to improve their mood from "indifferent meh" to "optimistic glad". They will learn how to see the good in every bad and view themselves as advantageous for enduring the negative event. Optimistic thinking will be introduced. -
Are they bothering you?
Students learn the intention behind aggression, with this first part focused on "bothering, provoking, and psychological domination." They will learn the sociological value of domination and how to avoid being dominated when they don't want to be. They will be introduced to "the law of reciprocity" and learn how to use that law to their advantage through "The Golden Rule". The key phrase to remember will be "Don't get upset, treat them like a friend." - Are they joking with you?
Students learn the intention behind aggression, with this second part focused on "joking, humor, and pranks". They will learn the sociological value of humor and how to enjoy taking and making a joke about themselves. They will be introduced to the 4 styles of humor and learn how to enjoy being the target of humor, embracing their perceived flaws, and enjoying exaggerating them for a laugh. The key phrase to remember will be "Don't get upset and laugh." -
Are they hurt by you?
Students learn the intention behind aggression, with this third part focused on "hurting and victimization". They will learn the sociological value of emotional pain and how to empathize with others, seeking to comfort them. They will be introduced to the four types of ineffective apologies and taught how to effectively apologize without shifting blame or making excuses. The key phrase to remember will be "Don't get upset and apologize."
