SUMMARY:Managing Difficult Emotions: Mindfulness for Peers in Crisis Settings
DESCRIPTION:We all experience painful emotional states. Anger\, anxiety\, and fear arrive without warning. These are adaptive reactions to life circumstances that help us recognize and confront challenges. \nWith mindfulness we learn to calm our nervous system and meet these inevitable difficulties with curiosity instead of resistance.
