Do your feelings control you?
Do you struggle to calm yourself down after experiencing an intense emotion?
Do you find yourself reacting rather than responding to difficult experiences?
Do you find yourself expressing your feelings in unhealthy ways or at the wrong times?
Do you struggle with being constantly overwhelmed, uncontrollably angry, or shutting down?
We are not often directly taught how to identify, accept, and manage our emotions. Rather, we learn this by watching how those around us deal with their emotions. Some emotions may be considered “acceptable” to experience, while others may be considered “wrong” or “bad”. While emotions are a normal part of daily life, for some, they feel like a wild roller coaster.
On a daily basis, we use emotional regulation strategies to meet the demands of the different situations we face. Some of those strategies are helpful, and some are not. Our lack of effective emotional regulation skills can affect: our mental and physical health, our relationships, job opportunities, our nutrition, our finances, and our ability to live a full and meaningful life.
We want to collaborate with you to help you get off the emotional roller coaster! Learn to break the cycle of reacting instead of responding. We can help you learn to identify your emotions, understand how you uniquely experience them, and skills to process them in a helpful and healthy way.
If you believe that emotional dysregulation is preventing you from living in the way you truly want, and you want to know more about improving your emotional regulation abilities, you can contact us to schedule an appointment or a free 15-minute phone consultation.
