Understanding Emotional Dysregulation — and How Counselling Can Help 💬
Do your emotions sometimes feel overwhelming, intense, or hard to control?
You’re not broken — this may be emotional dysregulation.
What is emotional dysregulation?
Emotional dysregulation is difficulty managing emotional responses. You might notice:
• Big emotional reactions that feel out of proportion
• Sudden mood shifts
• Feeling flooded by anger, anxiety, sadness, or shame
• Struggling to calm yourself once upset
• Feeling “too much” or shutting down completely
This often develops as a response to stress, trauma, childhood experiences, neurodiversity, or long-term emotional invalidation. It’s your nervous system trying to protect you — even if it no longer feels helpful.
How counselling can help 🌱
Counselling offers a safe, non-judgmental space to:
• Understand why your emotions react the way they do
• Identify emotional triggers and patterns
• Learn grounding, regulation, and self-soothing tools
• Build emotional awareness and self-compassion
• Strengthen your ability to respond rather than react
Over time, counselling can help your nervous system feel safer, making emotions feel more manageable and less overwhelming.
✨ You are not “too much.” Your emotions are communicating something important — and you don’t have to navigate them alone.
If emotional dysregulation is impacting your relationships, work, or wellbeing, support is available.
