This workshop will explore emotional regulation skills that center around enhancing (not perfecting!) control of our emotions.  By learning emotion regulation skills we can have more control, and perhaps learn to modulate, our emotions and emotional experiences.  The goal of emotion regulation is to learn or increase our understanding of emotions in general and help us understand, identify and describe our own emotions.  In addition, these skills help us to reduce the intensity of painful or unwanted emotions (e.g., anxiety, anger, sadness), and to change situations that prompt painful or unwanted emotions. Lastly, we can learn to reduce our vulnerability to becoming extremely or painfully emotional, and to increase motional resilience – all while learning to accept ongoing emotions, particularly when what we are feeling is extreme.
