• Unpack what emotion dysregulation is, how to identify it, and what the impacts of emotion dysregulation are on the brain and body

• Explore how to support clients to identify their "early warning signs" of emotion dysregulation

• Introduce concepts such as the "window of tolerance" and the "brain-body connection"

• Briefly introduce participants to mental health conditions which frequently present with emotion dysregulation symptoms, including Borderline Personality Disorder, trauma and Oppositional Defiant Disorder

• Explore a variety of practical interventions for emotion dysregulation drawn from therapeutic frameworks such as Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. 

Participants will be provided with comprehensive digitised resources and offered the opportunity to problem-solve challenging presentations in practice.
