Emotions 101 provides comprehensive education about what emotions are, how emotions are experienced physiologically in the body, and how to productively name, regulate, and process emotions.
In a culture where tremendous value is often placed on cognitive ability and behaviors, the seemingly abstract world of emotional intelligence feels murky and mysterious to many. Research has shown that most people can only identify three emotions - happiness, sadness and anger. This group aims to demystify emotions and equip you with language and skills to improve your emotional wellbeing.
Objectives of this group include:
- Learn about 8 core emotions (under which all other emotions can be categorized) and the utility of each core emotion
- Learn to distinguish between emotions, thoughts, sensations and behaviors
- Improve your ability to identify and name emotions in your body based on energy levels and sensations
- Understand your “window of tolerance” and how emotions are experienced within and outside of this window
- Identify the differences between numbing, escaping, impulsively reacting, regulating and processing emotions
- Learn resources to support increased capacity for regulating emotions and expanding your window of tolerance
- Learn concrete skills for processing and communicating your emotions and related needs
- Gain connection and understanding from other group members through discussing similarities and differences in how each individual relates to their own emotions
This group is facilitated by trauma therapist, Lauren Mokarry, LPC, and will be led from a trauma-informed perspective.
Start with a $50 deposit. We'll follow up with you after that.

Perhaps you think the idea of joining a group sounds a bit intimidating. The truth is: IT IS! But we think we do some of our best work when we might feel a tad uncomfortable. We offer classes in a variety of different areas:
For those who are trying to learn more about themselves, go deeper, and enhance their toolkit on life.
For those who want to take their relationship from a 4 or a 5 to a 10.
Classes for as young as 2-5 all the way up to high school.
Classes focused around anxiety, depression, trauma, mood, OCD, and more.
Groups fill up quickly and have limited capacity. When we create a group we want to know that the people who are signing up are dedicated to this experience. Additionally, closed groups (meaning a group where new members cannot join halfway through) provide a much more cohesive experience in terms of support and curriculum.
A support group is generally peer lead, meaning by somebody who does not necessarily have training in mental health. These groups are focused on camaraderie and not feeling alone in a specific struggle. Thrive’s groups provide this aspect as well as a robust curriculum to gain more tools to battle emotional and mental health struggles. All groups are therapist lead and will feature a therapist whose expertise is in the given topic of the group.
Yes! In fact, a poll at Thrive showed that 73% of group participants found group therapy to be as effective or more effective than individual therapy. Plus, we don’t need a poll to tell you that it’s about a third of the cost.
We’re always happy to talk you through this portion. A lot of our groups have a specific diagnosis to them and that can be a good indicator if it is a good fit for you. You can also always speak with your therapist about the group, whether that therapist is with Thrive or not.
Nobody wants to stay committed to something that is not benefiting them. We completely understand this. Talk to your group leader and talk to us and we will find a solution.
Groups are an amazing way to do some great work at a fraction of the cost of traditional therapy. Perhaps you think the idea of joining a group sounds a bit intimidating. The truth is: IT IS! But we think we do some of our best work when we might feel a tad uncomfortable.
