Accessible Techniques
It's one thing to be told "what to do", it's another thing to feel confident you can do it. I'm here to bridge the gap.
Effective Coping Skills
Our inner world goes into disarray when our emotions are heightened. Distress tolerance skills help us tame the chaos.
Lasting Change
The goal is to help you make long term and sustainable changes, so your intense emotions don't continue to be in control.
About the Course
Our bodies and brains are all connected in a giant feedback loop, which means emotions can be heightened or tamed at any point in that loop. The three body based coping skills in the course (progressive muscle relaxation, body scan meditation, and step-by-step sensory awareness) will help you enter that feedback loop in a way that decreases emotional intensity by focusing on your body. The section of the course specific to body based skills is just under 30 minutes, and you will leave with a clear sense of how to use each skill and an initial understanding about how our body can impact our emotions.
About the Creator: Kate
Hi, I'm Kate, a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with a private counseling practice in Chicago. I've been providing therapy and teaching coping skills for years, and have seen them change hundreds of lives. What I bring to this course is my clinical experience; it's not just about knowing "what to do" in a tough moment, it's also about overcoming barriers to "doing it". In the course I'll help you get through common barriers associated with building and using coping skills so you can apply them to your life. It doesn't have to be so hard.
