  • You can learn tools to manage anxiety, overwhelm, anger, shame, or low mood more safely and steadily.

  • Supports boundary-setting, conflict skills, and expressing needs without losing yourself.

  • Builds self-compassion, supports identity work, and helps you make choices that fit your values.
