The Emotion Toolkit

Soft Portrait Veil

Life is Emotional. Learn How to Navigate it.

 

Being human is hard and sometimes our emotions get the best of us. We don't have to eliminate difficult feelings or have all of our problems solved to feel more grounded and capable of managing life. Developing practical strategies to support yourself can make the difference between responding with awareness and crashing out.

 

The Emotion Toolkit,  taught by Tayla Kelley (AMFT #148248),  is a series of weekly classes to help you understand and manage your emotions, tolerate stress, communicate more effectively, and build healthier relationships. 

 

Based on Dialectical Behavior Theory (DBT), the classes will help you
 

  • Learn to meet yourself differently in difficult moments

  • Feel more grounded in stressful or overwhelming moments

  • Understand your emotions and work more effectively with them

  • Develop skills to handle conflict and set boundaries more effectively

  • Build a healthier relationship with yourself and others.

 

Whether you're navigating challenging relationships, feeling overwhelmed by everyday stress, or simply interested in understanding yourself better, you'll walk away with tools you can practice in your every day life.

 

Pick an individual class or join the whole series to build a solid foundation for healthier relationships and a more peaceful life.

"Even when emotions seem to overtake life... it is important to remember that those emotions still give us important information. Rather than judging our emotions, practice acceptance of them."
