1 Day Workshop by Dr Julie Peterson
Mood Surfing: The Art of Emotional Regulation
26 June 2010
Emotions often take on a wave like quality with some individuals experiencing larger and more
frequent waves. Unfortunately, without the appropriate knowledge, skills and strategies many
individuals, couples and families find themselves being dumped or drowned by the waves. This is
particularly so for individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders, ADHD and other significant mood
disorders.
This workshop incorporates the latest neuroscience and clinical research in the area of emotion
regulation and covers the essential knowledge and skills needed to surf, negotiate, ride and survive
emotional waves.
