Emotional Regulation
What it is
Emotional regulation is the ability to notice, understand, and respond to feelings without being swept into an unwanted reaction.
Example
For example, a small criticism may trigger a wave of shame that makes it hard to stay in the conversation.

What we can explore
We can identify early cues, the needs underneath strong feelings, and what helps you regain steadiness. Therapy offers space to practice responses that match your goals rather than the intensity of the moment.
- Identify emotional cues and triggers
- Practice pausing and grounding
