Workshop 3

I got a little more emotional during this workshop then I have so far. When we did our support circle exercise, I was one of the students that went in the middle to "absorb all of the good energy" from the others. It was weird. I didn't actually go all the way for any emotion that I experienced, but I experienced a lot. At first I felt happy, but then the group all put their hands on my shoulders and I was told to "release my inner child, when this happened I became really sad. I almost started crying. It was over really fast though and I went back into a shaky state and then again back to happy. Later we listened to "Iris" by the goo goo dolls. Many people got emotional from this. Again, I didn't go all the way, but quickly experienced many emotions. The song did not effect me as much as the emotional responses from the people around me did. After spending so much time connecting with each other, it was hard to see them upset, and I became upset.
