You're taking the first step towards learning how to manage those negative emotions. Guess what!? We all experience distressing emotions and thoughts.

Do you struggle with feeling at loss with your sense of self, which affects your relationships and your day-to-day life? Do you feel overwhelmed by your mind constantly thinking about the what-ifs of life? Do you feel disconnected from yourself and others?
