About the Course
If you work with anger and guilt in clinical practice, this course will challenge the way you think about these emotions. They are not merely undesirable feelings to be reduced and controlled. Instead, this video course treats them as meaningful signals worth listening to and understanding. This is not another generic overview of emotional regulation. For clinicians, the value of this course begins with a different view of anger and guilt – as closely related phenomena defined by the signals they send us about what we need to achieve or prevent. Understanding these goals helps clinicians guide clients toward more adaptive and effective ways of achieving them. The point is to replace, not suppress. Clinicians who have taken the course have described the framework as intellectually engaging and directly applicable to their clinical work.
