Surfing your emotions

Aanbod enkel in het Engels beschikbaar.

This group training focuses on expressing emotions differently and/or better. With this training, we hope to support you in finding the right balance in emotions. This means being able to deal with emotions in a safe way so that they do not cause us so many problems in daily life.

The group therapy around emotion regulation consists of 5 consecutive 2-hour sessions. Between the meetings, homework assignments will be given to practice and try out the newly learned skills as much as possible. Besides psycho-education on what emotion regulation exactly entails, we will focus on learning and practising the basic competences underlying balanced emotion regulation.

The objectives of the group therapy are as follows:

*to allow and accept emotional reactions better *to identify and label emotions more easily *to express emotions in a more adaptive way *to understand the relationship between emotions, cognition and behaviour, and the role of the environment *to manage emotional impulses and improve self-control (increase self-control and frustration tolerance, reduce impulsivity) *to deal more consciously with emotional input

PRACTICAL *Target audience (age): 16+ *Duration: 5 sessions of 2 hours each *Trainers: Dariya Bezugla and Dieter Geens

Before the start of the course, each participant will be invited by the BRUCC trainer for an (online) screening/intake. Participation in the course will be concluded based on this intake.
