During the pandemic, we launched our first ever Emotional Resilience Transformational Journey course! Here are the heart-felt video testimonials from participants in 2022, and how the course touched their lives and provided community for them during a vulnerable time. This first run was a blended format of face to face & online sessions due to gathering restrictions, but because it was on-line, we had a group of participants from Hong Kong who was able to attend and join the journey virtually! Video created by Germaine Wong (ThriveSg Volunteer).
We were so blessed to have had these handmade pouches created by one of our friends.
Inside this welcome pack, each participant received an ERTJ handbook, some stationary and other gifts!
Joining ERTJ has allowed me to realize how important connecting with my emotions is, and I was taught the CRC model which is very helpful to help me give every emotion a voice. Additionally I loved learning about the inner child and through this course I managed to discover my own inner child that I can now journey with. (Kelly Goh, 21 yrs)
I find ERT J helpful. Fr this course, I learnt that the first step in my healing journey is encouraging myself to show curiosity and compassion to my difficult or negative emotions, instead of ignoring it or hoping it will go away with time. One of the unexpected insights that I found out from the course is that it takes 63 days for new habits/beliefs to form, meaning I can change to become more emotionally resilient in just 63 days. I thought it would take a longer time!
Moving forward, the technique that I would want to use and would think that it is most beneficial for me would be how to identify and replace unhelpful thoughts with a more compassionate perspective. This helped me to be more aware of unhelpful thoughts that were affecting my actions and outlook on situations. Lastly, I would like to encourage others to join the ERTJ with these words - Like physical fitness, emotional fitness can be trained up! It just takes time and practice. ERTJ teaches you the skills and techniques how to do that, in a safe and encouraging community. (Jasmine Lee, 31 yrs)
I really enjoyed the workshop as there were multiple handles provided to process my emotions and rethink certain assumptions I have of others and of my inner thoughts. I enjoyed the friendships made and how universal this course was in bringing people from different stages of life to talk about emotions. (Lena Koh, 25)
I am so grateful for my group members and my small group facilitator, Yoon Mei for creating a safe environment online and in-person that made me feel like I could share freely without judgement. I am affirmed and encouraged each time I share an experience or an application of a lesson by my own ability to articulate & process my emotions. I appreciate my group members for validating my sharing. All the sessions in the workshop were clearly structured and packed with useful breakdowns & practical tips for each topic that we could apply and practice in our lives. Pam, Florence and Yoon Mei were wonderful facilitators and I would miss them very much! (Jane Lo, 23)
Thank you for everything! I had so much fun sharing and learning. I love the left hand child right hand compassionate adult practice. It was very helpful to me in navigating my thoughts. (Charmaine Tan, 23)
I really enjoyed our small group sharing. Each group had a facilitator, it helped the experience feel more hands-on. The sharing group sessions were really helpful in processing and making friendships, which is the highlight of the course. (Bianca Chua, 22)
I enjoyed the group discussions. I think Pamela's content was very practical. (Jaclyn Ee, 30)
I gained useful knowledge about ourselves and practical ways to apply what we have learnt. (Anonymous, 25)
It was a really safe space to share. It gave me a lot of resources to be able to accurately name my emotions, befriend them and suggest healthy coping mechanisms for them. (Raelene Kong, 24).
I liked HACKS, boundaries and vagal tone which we learnt during the course. These 3 techniques helped me identify my emotions and how to keep myself emotionally & physically safe. My small group facilitator, Serene was very validating and patient with us. She was very timely in her prompting which helped us to share even more openly (Javirea Lo, 21)
Thank you very much for all the effort and time as well as sharing your expertise, though i am joining from a different country I was able to understand well and the group dynamic was good. The line-up of topics was helpful and practical exercises have been useful for me. (Dorothy Mae from Philippines, 30)
The knowledge shared by counsellors on various traumas, their causes, and effects, followed by the solutions. (Aline Ang, 22)
My small group's willingness to participate and their open-minded nature in sharing their experiences and listening to the experiences of others. Pamela was extremely encouraging, which I think contributed to this friendly no-judgment environment. (N.G, 23)
All the emotion hacks that guide us to explore our emotions. Before the course, the only way for me to realise my emotion is to feel it. But thought out the course I learn skills like CRC, thoughs hacks etc. These skills enable me to process my emotion in a different way and to explore deeper what is in my mind. (Jasmine Wong from Hong Kong, 21)
I learnt how practicing self-compassion can help me face shame and lead to healthy emotions and sense of responsibility which is what my family wants. I appreciate the main trainer, the good sharing atmosphere, balance group time and helpful content. (Kenny Chen from Hong Kong, 28)
I enjoyed the group sharing time with people that I feel safe with. (Lo Wing Yu from Hong Kong, 29)
The different checklists provided help me effectively notice my emotions more. (Ion Wong from Hong Kong, 27)
The CRC framework for processing emotions, concept of small T and big T have been really helpful for me. I also learn to be more more aware what emotions are behind my cognitive distortion. My small group facilitator, August make me feel comfortable, accepted so I can feel safe to share myself, she was a great facilitator and counsellor. (Ivan Lee from Hong Kong, 33)
I appreciate my small group facilitator, Kate for leading all the group discussions and journeying with us. The hacks and tools learnt are practical and help me to identify and manage my emotions better. (Sarah Ng, 21)
