Have you ever wondered why, when you appear to have everything, you still feel empty inside? Or perhaps there is a goal that you have never been able to reach? Have you ever felt “stuck” or maybe that your life did not turn out the way you had pictured it would? If so…welcome to The 40 Experiment!

Learn to identify the thinking patterns that lead you to unproductive behaviors and prevent you from reaching your personal and professional goals. A clinician will teach you how to reprocess your thinking to shift your behavior and to make active changes daily.

There are seven common challenges that most people are striving to reach, including losing weight, getting out of debt, improving organization, discovering a life passion, finding romance, forming meaningful friendships/family relationships, and increasing relaxation. These are just a few examples of the issues that can be addressed in The 40 Experiment. You will be coached to understand the thinking patterns that are driving your unproductive behaviors and holding you back from reaching your lifelong goals.

This class is for any adult over the age of 18 who is pursuing self-awareness and growth, including students, professionals, or community members interested in furthering a particular goal and addressing unproductive behavior preventing them from reaching that goal.

The class will be a mix of hands-on activities and learning with a behavior coach and seasoned mental health therapist. You will walk away with an awareness of your triggering thoughts, tools to help shift your thinking, and an action plan to make changes long term.
