EMOTIONALLY FIT: A DBT SKILLS PROGRAM

Join us for Emotionally Fit, a structured DBT Skills Program that helps you respond to emotions with intention, not impulse. Led by experienced psychotherapists, this group is divided into three focused modules: Emotion Regulation, Distress Tolerance, and Interpersonal Effectiveness. Start with one or complete all three at your own pace. Whether you’re facing anxiety, emotional outbursts, relationship strain, or impulsive behaviours, this program offers evidence-based tools to help you feel more grounded, connected, and in control.

COUPLES PRIMER
Couples ReFresh - Safe. Secure. Connected

Need to learn RELATIONSHIP ESSENTIALS?

Our PACT Couples Primer is an 8 week evidence-based relationship program grounded in the Psychobiological Approach to Couple Therapy (PACT). Drawing from attachment science and neuroscience, this structured experience helps couples reconnect, strengthen communication, and build long-term security as a team.

Sessions are 90 minutes and can begin at any time based on your schedule.

Over the course of the program, couples will explore:

Week 1: Understanding your attachment patterns and how they show up in real-time interactions
Week 2: How your nervous systems respond to stress — and how to co-regulate
Week 3: The art of secure functioning: moving from “me vs. you” to “we”
Week 4: Conflict, repair, and why timing matters
Week 5: Building trust, predictability, and mutual care
Week 6: Deepening connection — emotional and physical intimacy
Week 7: Decision-making and creating win-win agreements
Week 8: Integrating the skills and creating a long-term relationship plan

This is not crisis therapy. It is relationship enrichment with clinical depth — practical, interactive, and often surprisingly enjoyable.
