Summary

This study tests a remote program called Regulating Together (RT) for children aged 8-17 with Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC) who struggle with emotional outbursts. The program uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness in small group sessions over 5 weeks. Researchers want to see if it's feasible and if it reduces emotion dysregulation, aiming to improve quality of life for these children and their families.
