About the Course
We’ve all had one of those moments: feeling tired, hungry and overwhelmed, we have an outburst that is more ‘toddler’ than ‘mature adult’.
What can we do differently?
How can we better manage our emotions, and express ourselves in ways that align with our own personal values and standards?
What can help us maintain emotional regulation, regardless of what life throws at us?
In this workshop we’ll learn some effective techniques for when our emotions are heightened, so that we can act or speak in ways that are consistent with the adult we want to be.
