Dynamic Emotional Integration® DEI Consultant and DEI Trainer
Scott Gallagher is a licensed Dynamic Emotional Integration® trainer and consultant. He offers DEI classes and consultations online and in-person in New Jersey, USA. Scott is a long-time educator, and currently works with teens as a mentor/teacher in a self-directed learning cooperative. He enjoys working with parents of teenagers, helping them listen to their emotions, better connect with their kids, and develop a more empathic approach in their parenting. As a father of a teenager, he gets regular opportunities to practice listening to his emotions and being empathic.
Scott’s teaching Philosophy: Although emotions are always present, most people have learned to exile at least some of them. Our work is to bring those exiled emotions back to give us balance. This process can be scary, challenging, confusing, exhilarating, and sometimes downright fun! And for each of us, this process will look completely unique. We each have our own way of doing it, in our own time. As we work together, I believe it’s important to allow time and space for learning, and to be gentle with ourselves as we bring the intelligence of our emotions back into our lives.
Scott’s Consulting Approach: Until I discovered the DEI approach to emotions, I had never considered them to be an actual aspect of my intelligence. Now I rely on the wisdom my emotions offer in understanding my own way of being in the world and my relationships with other people. Working with you, my intention is to be present and curious, and to consider the intelligence each of your emotions is offering without judgment. I think of a consultation as a collaborative reflection where your emotions can help you uncover new ways of observing yourself and your relationships. I also aim to offer helpful practices for when you feel stuck.
