Title: From Overwhelmed to Understood: Meeting the Needs Behind Your Emotions
Presenter: Bryan Richardson, LMLP
Thursday February 26, 2026 from 12-1pm Central Time (US and Canada)
Description:
Feeling overwhelmed by anger, anxiety, or depression can be exhausting. In this webinar, you’ll learn how these emotions arise when important needs aren’t met and how to respond in ways that bring relief and clarity. You’ll gain practical tools to better understand yourself, meet your needs, and build a more supportive inner relationship.
You will learn:
• The biological and evolutionary purpose of our emotions
• How you can partner with your feelings instead of fighting them
• When you should seek help in dealing with your emotions
