Psychotherapist and author Tina Gilbertson presents this lively, interactive class on Tuesday, October 13 at 7pm. Learn why much of what we “know” about emotions is a myth. Is anger really toxic? Do feelings go away faster if we don’t dwell on them? Can we really control our feelings by choosing our thoughts?

Whether you’re an empty-nester, newly divorced or unemployed, bereaved or experiencing relationship troubles, come learn how to deal effectively with the difficult emotions associated with common life challenges.
