Emotional regulation isn’t about never getting triggered.
It’s about how you respond when you are.

In real life, emotional regulation looks like:
• Taking a breath before replying to a harsh comment
• Choosing not to text back just to get the last word
• Pausing to name what you’re actually feeling
• Saying, “I need a moment” instead of exploding

It’s not about suppressing your emotions but about staying connected to yourself while feeling them.

Emotional regulation isn’t the absence of emotion—
It’s presence, with boundaries.

Common Myths About Therapy That Still Show Up in Sessions:

❌ “Therapists give advice.”
✅ Actually, we help you hear yourself more clearly.

❌ “Talking about it makes it worse.”
✅ Avoiding emotions buries them. Naming them moves them.

❌ “If I were strong, I wouldn’t need this.”
✅ It takes strength to face your inner world.

❌ “If therapy works, I should feel better right away.”
✅ Sometimes you’ll feel more discomfort before you feel relief. That’s the work.

Therapy isn’t about fixing you.
It’s about understanding, unlearning, and reconnecting with who you were before the world told you to be someone else.

Naming a feeling doesn’t just describe your experience—it regulates it.

Instead of: “I feel bad,”
Try: “I feel disappointed… hurt… lonely… resentful.”

When you name an emotion:
• The amygdala (fear center) slows down
• The prefrontal cortex (thinking center) engages
• The shame and confusion soften

Naming is the first step in making your emotions manageable.

You don’t have to fix the feeling.
Just start by naming it.
