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 II (3/14): Primary Emotions -- Participants learned about the four primary emotions, which are biologically basic: joy, anger, fear, and sadness. Also, how primary emotions are actually responses to stimuli, are normal and healthy, and guide us through life because they are focusing, protecting, and nurturing.
