Are you someone struggling to manage intense emotions (like anger, rage, overwhelming sadness, panic, or shame)?
Right now, you may be experiencing:
- Feeling frequently overwhelmed or flooded by your emotions
- Difficulty identifying, understanding, or naming what you are feeling
- Emotions feeling uncontrollable, leading to impulsive reactions or behaviors you later regret (e.g., outbursts, shutting down, substance use)
- Rapid shifts in mood that feel confusing or destabilizing
- Physical sensations associated with intense emotions feeling unbearable (e.g., racing heart, tightness in chest, feeling hot)
- Fear of your own emotions or the consequences of expressing them
- Difficulty soothing yourself or calming down once activated
- Your intense emotions interfering with your relationships, work, or daily functioning
You’re realizing that your difficulty managing intense emotions is getting in the way of your life:
- It damages relationships through conflict, withdrawal, or unpredictable reactions
