New group forming now!

If you have a person with extreme emotion dysregulation in your life, YOU are on the frontlines. You may find yourself constantly bombarded with anger outbursts you can’t identify the cause or origin of. You watch your loved one spiral day after day and anytime you offer a fix, they seem to spiral faster and further. You may fear coming home, not knowing which version of your loved one you are going to find there. While your loved one’s therapist or doctor gets to “set boundaries” and take breaks, you are never off duty. You need respite, validation, and answers. This is your group. These are your people!
