When the Child Inside Is Calling the Shots
90-Minute Interactive Deep Dive
A live educational intensive with a digital guided workbook
You can be grown, capable, and responsible—and still have moments when your reaction surprises you.
A conversation turns tense. You feel dismissed. Someone questions you. Before you have time to think, you’re defending yourself, shutting down, or saying something you wish you could take back.
This session creates space to slow that moment down.
Together, we’ll explore what you notice, what the situation brings up for you, and what you want to practice doing differently.
This is not about blaming your childhood or shaming your reactions. It is about approaching yourself with curiosity while taking responsibility for how you respond today.
More than a presentation
This 90-minute deep dive combines teaching, private reflection, guided workbook activities, and optional discussion.
You will have time to work with the material—not simply listen to it.
What we’ll work through
Recognizing situations that bring out a stronger reaction than you intended.
Exploring the meaning you attach to feeling dismissed, criticized, rejected, or misunderstood.
Noticing your familiar response: defending, withdrawing, pleasing, escalating, or shutting down.
Practicing a pause before choosing what to say or do.
Developing language for expressing a need without turning it into an accusation.
Creating a personal response plan to continue practicing after the session.
What your registration includes
A 90-minute live interactive session with Danny L. Ross.
A digital guided workbook for use during and after the intensive.
Structured reflection exercises.
Practical communication prompts.
Time for questions and optional discussion within the session.
A personal next-step plan.
Who this is for
This session welcomes adults of all genders and backgrounds who want to reflect on their emotional reactions and practice responding more intentionally.
You do not need to have attended the free introductory masterclass.
You will not be required to disclose personal experiences or speak in front of the group.
