Participants in this workshop learn about successful relational skills, managing their emotions — including anxiety and depression — and effective intervention and treatment strategies, all in the context of a supportive group environment. Sharing, supporting, and encouraging one another, while learning new perspectives and meaningful skills, as well as adopting the strategies that work best for each participant.

This small group 10-session workshop is held at my office at 313 Main Street in Rockland, on Wednesdays, 4:15–5:45 PM. This week, the first session focused on:

Workshop III (3/21): Primary Emotions: Key Discoveries — Participants further explored more discoveries around primary emotions and what they mean to experience. Important within that is discovering that emotions are not a state, but a response, and always occurring. Also discovering that we are not our emotions, but something we have, that vary in intensity, and tell us what is best or not best for us.
