The Art of Regulation: Crafting a Distress Tolerance Toolbox

The Art of Regulation: Crafting a Distress Tolerance Toolbox

As we head into the holidays, many of us find our stress levels rising and our nervous systems activated. 

There are many different reasons we may struggle through this time; from external social obligations and family expectations to internal thought spirals about finances or your current status in life. 

Whatever it is, you will gather some tools that you can carry with you for those times you need it most. 

Join us for this creative hands on workshop that blends art, mindfulness, and emotional regulation. 

Together we’ll explore simple, evidence based practices for managing distress and staying grounded. 

You will craft your own personalized tool box — a small, tangible reminder of your capacity to return to regulation during intense times. Need to bring your tools with you on-the-go but you’re tight on space? The contents of your box can be condensed into bullet point list form and tucked into your back pocket. 

Come as you are and learn how to tend to your nervous system with care and creativity. Sink into a cozy space, feeling held and inspired by community. Leave feeling prepared to save your holidays in case of overwhelm.
