LOTUS is a 12 week long self-paced program aimed at teaching participants tools to effectively regulate their emotions. Participants are required to complete their assignments and presentations each week as outlined in the course workbook
What is Anger?
At LOTUS we believe Anger is an umbrella emotion. Meaning Anger stands for: Annoyed, Nervous, Guilty, Embarrassed, and Resentful. The majority of individuals having difficulty with their emotional regulation, say they’re angry when in reality they’re experiencing a variety of emotions. At LOTUS we hope to help the individuals identify what emotions they are experiencing, what clues are associated with those emotions, and how to effectively regulate those emotions in that moment and in that time.
