WEBINAR SPONSOR: Play Attention
 
Emotional distress includes feelings of anxiety, low mood, rumination, and self-criticism. For people with ADHD, as well as those facing chronic stress, it can stem from changes in relationships, work, caregiving demands, health problems, or challenges to life satisfaction. When we feel prolonged uncertainty, our distress can become self-perpetuating.

In this webinar, Doug Mennin, Ph.D., introduces ideas aligned with emotion regulation therapy, a research-based approach designed to help people better understand and respond to emotional distress. You will:
  • Understand emotional distress through a motivation and emotion-regulation lens, including why anxiety and depression often feel so hard to shift
  • Recognize common patterns like worry, rumination, and self-criticism that keep distress going
  • Build mindful awareness of emotions, body sensations, and internal conflicts without becoming overwhelmed by them
  • Develop practical skills to step back from intense thoughts and feelings and see them more clearly
  • Use emotion-regulation strategies to support meaningful actions, even when emotions are uncomfortable
