Our emotional systems ensure we survive and thrive. Often outside of our awareness - you can ignore them at your peril! Anxiety, guilt, shame, and ingrained habits of highly unsuccessful people are likely to build when our emotional systems are blocked, dismissed or disconnected.

A woman on a mission to challenge the culture of burying emotional experiences. She passionately believes that a world where people fully embrace their emotions would be a more effective, safe and environmentally secure place. Over the past 20 years as a clinical psychologist, she has deepened her understanding of the Emotional Systems and incorporated them into all of her clinical and therapeutic work.
Jess works enthusiastically to help people meet, activate and strengthen their emotional systems in order to live an emotionally fulfilling life. She set up ConnectionStudio to bring online learning, workshops, therapeutic treatments and immersive retreats to individuals, businesses and organisations.
"I do all that I do to challenge the culture of burying emotional experiences; of rational over emotional, thinking over feeling. I believe that a world where people fully embrace their emotions would be a more effective, safe and environmentally secure place. These systems are at the heart of all that we do, whether we admit it or not, and without awareness, we can really fail to make the best use of all that they can bring us. These courses are designed to bring your emotional systems to life, because the only way of learning about emotional systems is to experience them internally and become aware of their expression all around us."
The only way to truly learn about emotional systems is to activate them! This is the basics course, with a whole range of learning tools within. We give you information, share emotional mindfulness exercises and give you the chance to remove blocks that are getting in your way - this might be emotional blocks like "I don't deserve this" or behavioural blocks or habits like "I can't do this". With this course you will find your emotional systems are broadly activated and your learning will be deepened across many areas of your life!
This course takes you on a journey to get to know and activate your emotional systems, so your innate solutions to the problems in your life can become more available to you. If you aren't sure you want functioning emotional systems, just like your immune system and your respiratory system - they are present inside you, they are completely innate, not chosen by you. Your only choice is whether you engage and work with them... and unfortunately, they easily work against you if ignored! Just as you can see when you open your eyes, pick up changes in sound waves via your ears, and feel temperature change and touch via your skin. When your emotional systems are activated a corresponding feeling can be experienced, giving direction, motivation and clarity to respond to the situations you find yourself in and the daily problems of life. If someone treats you badly, we have a natural emotional response to this, we can 'decide' it doesn't effect us, and doesn't matter, but the emotional system has still been activated. The culmulative effect over many years - anything from alcohol problems to back pain, relationship difficulties to irritable bowel syndrome. Want to unlock your emotional capacity? Ready to be your emotionally fittest? It's time to activate your emotional systems and live your life, with contentment and to your fullest potential.These exercises are designed to stimulate your emotional systems. As with any emotional process you consent to experiencing - a sad film, a heated discussion, a therapy session or reading antagonistic tweets - you are responsible for regulating yourself so you don't get overwhelmed or act out.
This content, unlike some emotional experiences, will be respectful of you and your capability throughout. We have been careful to pace the exercises and produce thoughtful material. We are not, however, for what happens to you as a result of listening, watching and engaging. Your amazing emotional systems, just like your immune system or nervous system, are inside you and are innately programmed to solve the problems of living. Here, we encourage you to have a balanced diet of curiosity, safety, assertion, care, connection, feeling good and play. If you focus on just one system, you are more likely to experience more problems. Ultimately, it is your choice how you engage with this course, and by purchasing this product you are taking full responsibility for the impact and outcome.Access to a computer, tablet or mobile phone with an internet connection.
