Free Talk: Beyond the Mask – A Journey Toward the Unfiltered You

What if your anxiety or overthinking wasn’t who you are, but a part trying to protect you?

A Free Live Talk with Cynthia Schwartzberg, LCSW, blending neuroscience, compassion, and self-discovery.

Join this free 90-minute experiential talk with Cynthia Schwartzberg, LCSW, to gently explore the “masks” you wear, and discover how to reconnect with the calm, authentic Self beneath them.

From Self-Criticism to Self-Understanding: A Journey Back to You

We all carry ways of being that once helped us feel safe or accepted, such as habits, defenses, and identities that once made sense. Over time, those same protective parts can begin to hold us back, leaving us caught in tension or self-doubt.

If you often find yourself stuck in your thoughts, striving to meet everyone’s expectations, or feeling overlooked, this session offers a path toward greater understanding and ease.

In this free, live experiential talk with Cynthia Schwartzberg, Senior Brainspotting Trainer and creator of Harmonic Brain Healing™, you’ll be guided to connect with your inner experience through somatic awareness, mindful presence, and compassionate exploration.

You’ll begin to meet your protective patterns with kindness and gently release the energy they’ve been holding.

You’ll walk away with:

• A calmer nervous system
• A renewed sense of clarity and inner alignment
• Simple tools to feel more at ease in your own skin

In This Free 90-Minute Talk, You’ll Discover How To

• Recognize the “masks” you wear, and what your body reveals about them

• Use mindfulness and self-compassion to ease inner tension and self-judgment

• Access your authentic Self through somatic grounding and guided reflection

• Release perfectionism and people-pleasing by befriending the parts beneath them

• Integrate new awareness into your daily life for more peace and presence

This Talk is For You If You’re

• Feeling pressure to “keep it together” while craving genuine self-connection
• Ready to loosen the grip of overthinking, anxiety, or self-doubt
• Curious about how parts work, mindfulness, or somatic healing can support transformation
• A therapist or wellness professional seeking deeper insight and renewal in your practice (CEs pending)

Why Attend/Why It Matters

When you stop fighting your “masks” and start understanding them, healing unfolds naturally.

This talk offers a safe, gentle space to experience what authenticity feels like in your body, not as an idea, but as a lived sense of ease and wholeness.

This session is free, but seats are limited. Join live and start the year feeling more grounded, clear, and authentically you.
