How the Group Works
Strong emotions can shape decisions, relationships, and overall well-being, even for accomplished people. When emotions become overwhelming, it is easy to feel reactive, exhausted, or stuck in patterns that create unnecessary suffering.
This structured skills group teaches practical strategies for understanding emotions, responding rather than reacting, and building greater psychological flexibility.
Using evidence-based techniques from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), participants learn practical strategies for managing difficult emotions, tolerating distress, and building lasting emotional resilience.
