Mind-Body Workshop – Understanding Emotions: Clarity Helps

Led by Lisa Cottrell, LPC

Join us for a Zoom workshop with Lisa Cottrell, the CEO and founder of Well Being Psychotherapy in Decatur!

What are the benefits of Understanding Emotions?
Most of us don’t get a lot of education about emotions, other than a lot of unhelpful advice like “Don’t be so sensitive,” “You shouldn’t feel that way” or other invalidating comments. This talk will provide scientifically based information to help you have a better understanding of emotions, which can improve your capacity to communicate. Clarity of emotions can help you cope effectively and more efficiently.

In this workshop, you will learn:

• About emotions and why we have them
• ABCs of emotions
• Common thought distortions
• Differentiating between interpretations, evaluations, and emotions
• DBT’s three states of mind
• Our emotion-based urges and when to act on them and when to do the opposite
• Some effective types of psychotherapy to help us manage our emotions
• A few techniques for coping with emotions
• A preview of a tool for improving communication
