What S.O.S is about
Young Bima and her grandmother Gede have been adrift in the middle of the Indian Ocean for seven days. Food and water are running out and nobody is answering their distress calls. In a situation like that, emotions can easily work against you.
With Gede's help, Bima has to face her own emotions and learn to handle them if she wants to survive and get back home. You go through the journey with her: you find out what emotions are for, learn to recognize them and practice techniques to regulate their intensity.
You practice with exercises and simulators in a safe, stress-free setting and get detailed feedback along the way. Emotional regulation training, no actual shipwreck required.
