Riding the Waves: How to Swim Instead of Sink When You’re in Unpredictable Waters

With Dr. Lauren Cook, PsyD, MMFT, PMH-C

With Dr. Lauren’s evidence-based W.A.V.E.S. Framework, your team will learn how to navigate through uncontrollable and challenging circumstances with aplomb.

  • Welcome the waves: Instead of fighting ourselves, learn the value of self-compassion.

    Alertness: Recognize our cues of distress so that we don’t do further damage to ourselves or others.

    Valor: Anxiety makes us want to pull back but you’ll learn how actively approaching our fears is what actually alleviates distress.

    Empathy: Foster a sense of patience and understanding for your fellow surfer while appropriately setting boundaries.

    Surf it out: Harness the power of perspective to ride with rather than against the waves you encounter.

SIGNATURE WORKSHOPS:

  • With Lindsay Hafer, AMFT

    Parenting through big emotions can feel overwhelming, leaving many parents wondering how to be compassionate without becoming permissive. This practical and supportive workshop is designed to help parents better understand their child’s emotional world while maintaining the structure and boundaries children need to thrive. Grounded in child development and attachment-based principles, participants will learn why children experience emotional meltdowns, how emotional regulation develops, and the powerful role parents play in co-regulation. We’ll explore how to respond to difficult emotions with empathy while holding clear limits, avoid common power struggles, and teach accountability without shame or punishment. Through psychoeducation, real-life examples, and actionable strategies, parents will leave with tools to support emotional regulation, navigate challenging behaviors with greater confidence, and foster resilience, responsibility, and emotional well-being in their children.

  • With Heather DePinho, AMFT

    Why do we feel like superheroes one week and completely depleted the next? It isn't a flaw in your work ethic—it's your biology. This talk explores how to sync your professional calendar with your hormonal shifts. We’ll discuss practical ways to audit your energy, from scheduling big presentations during high-confidence windows to practicing radical self-compassion during slower phases.

    Discover how to work with your body, not against it, to create a career that feels as good as it looks.
