Have you ever caught yourself in a storm of BIG emotions, either your own or someone else's? It can be painful to experience and can make things even more challenging. Oftentimes, BIG emotions show up in the midst of challenge or conflict, and can lead to behaviors that make things worse unintentionally.

This workshop offers an introduction to the assumptions, strategies and skills of dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), currently considered one of the gold standard treatment protocols for people who struggle with emotion regulation. Incorporate some skills to learn how to understand, identify, dial down BIG emotions and be able to be more effective, so you can respond instead of react.
