"It's not about managing your emotions; it is about managing your reactions to your emotions."
Yung Pueblo
This webinar took place in December 2024 but is available at all times for Aftercare clients to access.
We explored effective strategies for managing reactions to common emotions that can arise during the Christmas period or when there are other busy social, work and family functions.
Clients were provided with tools to regain control over their feelings, understand their emotional triggers, and develop the courage to face challenging emotions. We also discussed the importance of expressing emotions healthily, rather than suppressing them, to promote overall emotional well-being.

Recognising and responding to patterns like: catastrophising, all or nothing thinking, labelling, minimising and denial.
The S.T.O.P method
