Clinic 308: Animal Theory of Emotion (DBT-based therapy)

Highly triggering. The people don’t know what they’re saying in a scientific standpoint. And are quite offensive, and rude. They exploit vulnerable people, and then dismiss their feelings, when some people there are already not well. If you’re easily brainwashed this place is great. I wish I had a time machine for the time spent at this “clinic”. It should be shut down. And the place should apologize for any damage done to its people that registered. I want my time, energy and money back

To say that the psychologists working here are absolute miracle workers would be an understatement. They've been gifted with unique talents to understand human emotions and apply their wisdom with all of the lucky souls to enter their presence. Their emotional regulation group therapy program is something I would and have recommended to EVERYONE and anyone. A breath of fresh air, a dose of rationality, validation and the medicine that heal's the soul: learning how to let go of your unhealthy defence mechanisms. I will advocate for Clinic 308, these psychologists and their group therapy program, for anyone suffering or wondering how they could feel better in their lives. Group or an individual session with Molly Moroz and/or Ilana Kronick is a gift to yourself. Do it!

AVOID. This place is at best extremely sketchy, and at worst con artists taking advantage of people looking for help.They charge thousands of dollars to teach you an extremely dubious theory - any requests to learn about the science backing the theory are deflected and brushed off. Any criticism of the theory, the method or the therapists are deflected and reframed as a personal failing on the part of the client: You're criticizing the theory

This program changed my life. I had done therapy for years leading up to it and while it helped me significantly, I felt like I'd hit a wall. Ilana and Molly's approach was radically different from any I'd encountered before. It changed my perspective on mental health drastically, and taught me tools to understand and address my emotions independently. It also gave me a much better understanding of why my personal history led to the issues I have dealt with over the years.I definitely recommend doing individual sessions with Molly in addition to the group. It allows for a more targeted, deep dive into the past (and present for that matter) and I feel like it's been instrumental in getting me to where I am today.I still have days where the emotions take over and I struggle, but the magnitude keeps lessening and the program has given me the tools to address them with a healthier perspective. Also, if I'm being perfectly honest, the majority of times this has happened its been preceded by a period of not using the tools I've learned. Consistency is key.Anyway, I couldn't recommend this program enough. I've suggested it to several people. It's a revelation if you're ready to buy in. For the first time in my adult life I have a map to a future that isn't marred by mental illness and low self worth. I had long believed that wasn't possible.

Would not recommend. The psychologist who runs this clinic is deeply insensitive, completely lacking in empathy, and routinely bullies people into silence to assert her viewpoints. She constantly makes one-size-fits-all claims, and shuts down any attempt to inject nuance into the conversation. She fails to listen to what clients have to say and refuses to consider anything that doesn't fit into the class' belief system.

Did the group therapy and it totally changed my life. The skills they teach are truly transformative and their approach is very unique & very effective! I will reap the benefits of these sessions for the rest of my life. Would 100% recommend to anyone struggling with their emotions!

This clinic saved me from myself" or as Dr. Kronick would say

When joining this program, I never expected to feel so heard and understood. Clinic 308 is like no other & for that I'm grateful to have gone through this experience. I have learned many useful tools and much about myself

Where was this clinic 10 years ago! I wish I knew about the animal theory then, it would have saved me time, money and heartache.It’s can be triggering for people who struggle with BPD like me or people who simply struggle with regulating their emotions. You really have to go there and be ready to LISTEN, like really listen and introspect and do the work. This type of therapy isn’t meant for life, instead it’s a therapy that will provide with tools so you can deal with everything on your own!We think of ourselves as these complexe beings with complexe problems but deep down we are all the same. It’s Ockham's razor! Remove the fog or take off your animal “rings” so you can see things with more clarity and allow yourself to truly heal and have a good life! that’s what it’s all about!I encourage everyone to try this clinic. There’s a women group and a men's group, which is awesome. The therapists in this clinic are extremely professional, knowledgeable and human.

This program was not designed for those looking to exclusively seek validation for their problems or circumstance and/or to be coddled but it will provide you with all the tools to live a healthier life as long as you are open minded. Do the work and reap the reward.This was an amazing experience and is a fresh approach to therapy!Many thanks.
