PowerHour 5 – Dealing With Strong Emotions: Containment at Work

September 16, 2026 (12:00 pm - 1:00 pm)

Location: Virtual


These sessions are available exclusively to staff and faculty from Acadia University, Dalhousie University, Holland College, Memorial University, and St. Francis Xavier University.

This session focuses on developing emotional containment—the ability to tolerate strong emotions and respond thoughtfully rather than react impulsively under stress. We will learn how to recognize emotional and physical cues, ride the wave of intense feelings, and use practical tools like “the flip” to transform urges into values-aligned actions. By the end of the PowerHour, you will have concrete strategies to stay grounded, maintain composure, and navigate challenging situations with greater clarity and control.
