A Feeling Is Not a Verdict

You forget a word in a meeting and suddenly think you can’t do your job anymore. You feel angry, then decide you’ve become a terrible person. A difficult moment has turned into a verdict about who you are.

A Feeling Is Not a Verdict gives you a simple way to slow that jump. You’ll separate what you’re experiencing, what you’re telling yourself it means and what you can actually choose to do next.

For when one moment starts defining you

For anyone who finds that fear, anger, embarrassment or mental fog quickly becomes a sweeping conclusion about themselves. You might be going through a change in life, or simply facing a difficult day. Work with a manageable moment, not the most overwhelming experience in your past.

What you'll learn and practise

  • Tell the difference between a present state, the story you make about it and the next choice available to you.
  • Use an ordinary object, sound or point of contact to reconnect with what’s around you before describing a difficult moment.
  • Check what you actually know against what you’re predicting or assuming.
  • Choose a useful next step for the coming ten minutes, and recognise when ongoing or urgent symptoms call for professional help.

Take away a three-line practice you can return to: “My state is…”, “The story is…” and “My next choice is…”.

Twelve short written lessons combine practical examples, a small practice and optional saved reflections. Move at your own pace and return whenever you need to.

The Motherhole

The Motherhole hosts women-only circles at Sensual Institute in Stockholm. These gatherings are for women who want to speak openly about desire, care, ageing and the experiences that rarely have room in everyday conversation. We write, listen and sometimes work with breath, sound or movement. You can share or simply listen. The circles explore three realms: Eros, Mother and Crone. You can find upcoming dates and tickets for these circles in the Sensual Institute events calendar.

Crone

Crone is the realm of ownership, changing bodies and the freedom to decide what you give your time to. Our women-only circles explore ageing, menopause, boundaries and the changes that come with them. There is room for uncertainty, anger, relief and pleasure, without having to put a positive spin on anything.
