Do you have a relative in your family who has intense emotional dysregulation or impulsive behaviors? Are you frustrated and tired of being blamed or verbally attacked? Have you witnessed signs of self-injury or other harmful behaviors? Or perhaps you are a parent worried that your “adult” son or daughter will never really grow up?

Learn basic skills that will help you to feel more balanced, manage all your relationships more effectively, and help move your loved one toward recovery.  This 12-week course will include:

• Understanding Borderline Personality Disorder
• The Power of Presence and Acceptance
• Understanding Emotions
• Validation, Validation, and More Validation
• How Behavior is Conditioned and Modified
• Making Requests and Saying No Effectively
• Self-Care and Personal Limits
• How to Deal with Risky Behaviors and Tolerate Distress
