This 6-week group is designed to help build distress tolerance and emotion regulation skills. Learning distress tolerance skills will help individuals cope with stressful events and emotions. Learn how to sit with, distract from, and accept painful emotions and urges when thing can't get better right away. Emotion regulation skills will focus on building an understanding of why we have emotions and the functions they serve.

We will review skills to be able to stop unwanted emotions from starting in the first place, change unwanted emotions once they start, increase resilience and the ability to cope with difficult things.

This group is for graduate students only.
