I attended a group webinar with Dr Samar which was about Emotional Regulation. It was a great webinar where I learned different ways to regulated my heightened emotions whether they occur when I am at work, home or anywhere else. It was great to see other people share their experiences and best practices and to be able to see and connect with other people who are facing similar issues and looking solutions.

I thoroughly enjoyed Dr Samars two webinars on the mind and our cycle as women. It was so nice speaking to other woman and sharing experiences. Most importantly being able to take home strategies to help with daily living!
