Run to the Roar - A Conversation with Dr. Jerry Bockhoven

Life is full of “roars.” Shame, depression, grief, anger, and anxiety can feel overwhelming. Our natural instinct is to run away from these emotions—but that often leaves us trapped. What if instead, you could learn how to face them head-on and come out stronger?
That’s exactly what this three-week series with Dr. Jerry Bockoven is all about. Using stories, metaphors, and the practice of radical acceptance, you’ll discover how to move through difficult emotions and stay focused on what really matters in life.
📅 Thursdays, October 9, 16, and 23
🕐 Choose a session: 1:00–2:30 p.m. or 6:00–7:30 p.m.
📍 Fellowship Hall, First Presbyterian Church
What You’ll Experience:
Class 1: Radical Acceptance and the Management of Depression, Anger, and Shame
Class 2: From Worrier to Warrior: Radical Acceptance and Anxiety
Class 3: Hidden Grief: The Challenge of Gradual Goodbyes in Our Later Years
Meet The Speaker
Dr. Jerry Bockoven is a respected psychologist, teacher, and speaker with decades of experience helping people navigate life’s hardest challenges. He knows the terrain—and he’ll help you face the roar with courage and clarity.
