Emotion Regulation Difficulties
Understanding Emotion Regulation
Emotion regulation refers to the ability to understand, manage, and express emotions in healthy ways. Difficulties in this area can lead to intense emotional reactions, mood swings, or impulsive behaviours that strain relationships and self-esteem.
How Therapy Can Help
At Psychology Clinical Rooms, therapy focuses on building awareness and mastery over emotions. Approaches such as Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Schema Therapy, and Mindfulness-Based Emotion Regulation teach practical skills for grounding, distress tolerance, and self-soothing.
Learning to manage emotions is a skill — one that can bring lasting calm, confidence, and connection.
