Course Description
Sometimes it seems the world is full of people who annoy you, rub you the wrong way, push your buttons, or just plain frustrate you.
I call these people challenging.
It might be a co-worker or boss, a neighbor, a friend, or a family member. It might be someone you don’t know and may never see again, like the person serving you lunch or servicing your car. However, often the people who challenge you the most are those closest to you, like your kids or your significant other, and since they are in your life daily, learning how to manage these challenges is life changing.
Here’s the great news—learn three simple steps and you will find yourself in a world where little bothers you. And when it does (because yes, it will) you will have at your fingertips a toolbox of easy-to-use techniques that can take you from annoyed to at peace in literally seconds.
That’s right: The next time you run into someone who used to make you fume, your boss is short with you, or the kids make (another) mess in the kitchen, you will find yourself smiling.
No matter what the situation:
You can move through life with grace and ease.
What you will learn:
Understand how feelings and emotions create your reality—this will give you the power to change how you experience life!
Adopt a new way of seeing the world that makes you unbotherable.
Learn some simple energy-shifting techniques that can leave you calm and at peace instead of frustrated next time you encounter a challenging person or situation.
Benefits to becoming "unbotherble":
· More harmonious relationships
· Increased sense of calm
· Less stress, anxiety, & feelings of overwhelm
· Ability to move through life with grace and ease
· Increased effectiveness at work and at home
· More energy and alertness during the day
· Better sleep
Well, what are you waiting for? Let’s get started!

Indeed, when you ask yourself "is this my business" and the answer is no, then it is so much easier to let it go. Once you let it go it no longer bothers you. What a release!

Step 3, part 1 & part 2 are amazing! I actually feel a lot of energy flow through me, and help me to calm and relax.
By Bilal Rasool on 10/30/2019
Focus was on breathing and mindset - no techniques in how to approach or deal with the challenging person. Disappointed.
By Bonnie Rubel on 9/27/2019
Thank you. I feel that I learned a new approach and do not judge others as much as a result of this course.

I have been very interested in creating more meaningful relationships that are based on deeper resonance.
By Sarah White on 11/7/2018
I truly enjoyed the course material and found it very helpful. Made me more aware of my emotions and feelings when dealing with difficult people . Dr Frederick did a wonderful job in both her lectures and graphics.
By Isabella Davis on 10/26/2018
I learned new ways to deal with situations that have been causing me stress - so thank you!
By Ella Grace on 10/25/2018
I had tried other ways of finding compromise with the difficult people in my life and nothing really had a lasting impact. This is a totally different approach and it's working! Thank you :)
By Vince Redgrave on 10/25/2018
I have been able to easily apply some of these different ways to approach things (including myself) to everyday situations. They really work! Love how simple this is. The techniques learned have continued to prove useful in starting up my day and winding it down. Some really great stuff here.
By Stephnie Hopple on 6/4/2018
I've already learned quite a bit and have applied it to my daily work life. The deep breathing and visualizations really help!
