Increasing Emotional Intelligence Group Training

“Emotional Intelligence” as defined by Daniel Goleman, Ph.D. psychologist, is “the capacity for recognizing our own feelings and those of others, for motivating ourselves, and for managing emotions well in ourselves and in our relationships.” Emotional Intelligence can be improved! People who are highly skilled intellectually and/or technically may lack satisfying relationships or healthy self-esteem. Unless there are psychological issues that require psychotherapy, increasing Emotional Intelligence will have a significant positive impact on the quality of one’s relationships and life.

Our focus and practice will include strategies that promote Emotional Intelligence such as: recognizing and naming emotions, understanding the causes of feelings, and listening for the “lessons” in feelings.
