HJL Aftercare Menu
Here are some approaches to care for yourself in the way you might need following the session/training/workshop/organising. If an approach is working for you, take notice of the internal shifts to help increase the positive effects. If you try one approach and you are not feeling a positive shift, give yourself permission to adapt the practice or stop and try something else.
