Group Description

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.
