Course Overview

Course Description:
Mood dysregulation is a symptom present in a variety of disorders, especially anxiety and trauma-based. It can be challenging for clinicians to understand and manage dysregulated moods since it can present as irritability, mood swings, and angry outbursts, which can challenge the therapeutic relationship.

This training will provide information to better assess mood dysregulation, differentiation in diagnosis, and provide a therapeutic framework. We will cover the experiences of adolescents (13-19) and adults (18+), emphasizing emerging adults.
Original recording date: March 12, 2025 Length: 3 hours

  • Identify the factors that contribute to emotional dysregulation and recognize how dysregulation manifests across various mental health diagnoses.

  • Analyze the therapeutic challenges for mood dysregulation and recall at least four treatment strategies that can help reduce dysregulation, increase safety and address potential issues of self-harm.

    I enjoyed the training and the instructors style of teaching. She used examples from her own life to properly demonstrate the points she was trying to make, as well as encouraged participants in the web seminar to think on their own experiences and if they could relate the concepts to their own participants. The videos and links that the instructor provided also helped to simulate or further educate us on the topics being presented.
