When life feels overwhelming, difficult emotions can come crashing in like powerful waves. In those moments, it can be hard to think clearly, solve problems, or respond in helpful ways. 

In this webinar, we’ll explore practical strategies from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help you manage intense emotions, navigate distressing situations, and build resilience—allowing you to “ride the wave” of emotion rather than be swept away by it. 

Learn how to tolerate distress in a more productive and adaptive way, so you can stay grounded even when life feels unmanageable.
