Managing Intense Emotions Course
Online via Zoom App
Emotional intensity can be difficult to understand and manage, with the right tools we can be better placed to soothe ourselves when intense emotions arise. On this four-week course we look at how to better comprehend individual experience of intense emotions. Throughout the course we explore different emotional recognition and regulation tools, and distress tolerance skills.
Thursdays 18, 25 June, 2 & 9 July
