Name It to Tame It:

Understanding Your Emotions and Taking Back Control

Have you ever felt completely hijacked by your emotions—snapping at someone you love, shutting down when things get hard, or lying awake replaying a moment you can’t stop thinking about? You’re not broken. You’re human. And there’s a skill that can change everything.

Name It to Tame It is a one hour, interactive workshop that teaches one of the most powerful (and most overlooked) tools in emotional health: the ability to name what you’re feeling, and use that awareness to shift how you respond.

Rooted in brain science and used by therapists worldwide, this workshop will help you understand why emotions can feel so overwhelming and give you simple, practical techniques to work with them rather than against them.

Date: Thursday, June 4, 2026

Time: 6:00–7:00 PM CST

Format: Online workshop

Cost: $30 per person

In this workshop, you will:

Learn why your brain gets “flooded” and what actually calms it down
