Emotional dysregulation refers to difficulties in managing and responding to emotions in a way that is perceived as socially acceptable and also within a person's comfort level. It might look like symptoms of hyperarousal in our nervous system (like rage, tearfulness, heightened anxiety, racing thoughts, or fast-paced speech) or hypoarousal (numbness, dissociation, spaciness, or disconnection); or it could be a combination of both.

Throughout the program you will learn important ways to work with your emotions and develop mindfulness.

The specific curriculum will cover:

• Understanding our emotions and their origin

• Increasing tolerance to distressful states

• Navigating and regulating intense emotional responses

• Developing resilience capacity

Our past history and conditioning shapes how we engage in relationships in our present. Unhealthy dynamics often stem from wounded parts of the self and from traumatic experiences. These dynamics can take a toll on us. Having a better understanding of what we need in relationships helps us through and grow in them.

The specific curriculum will coer:

• Understanding different parts of the self

• Learning active listening skills

• Working with health boundaries

• Communicating needs and wants

We offer an intake assessment to determine need and level of care, groups three times a week. Weekly therapy will be part of the program (on Monday or Fridays) and case and medication management are as needed on those days.

For families of participants in the program there is also a weekly Family Support Group on Monday night to assist in the home and emotional support settings.
