Managing Emotions: Simple Tools to Stay Balanced When Life Gets Tough

Life doesn’t always go as planned. Stress, conflict, and unexpected challenges can leave us feeling overwhelmed or reactive. This interactive workshop will give you practical, science-backed tools to ground yourself when emotions run high — so you can respond with calm and confidence.

In this 60-minute workshop, you’ll discover how to:

• Understand what’s happening in your brain and body during strong emotions
• Use quick, effective techniques (like grounding and mindful breathing) to calm stress in the moment
• Practice a proven method to pause before reacting (the STOP skill from DBT)
• Shift from self-criticism to self-compassion so you can build confidence in handling tough moments.
