Emotional regulation is one of the more chronically misunderstood concepts in pop psychology. Most people carry one of two models around:

1. Being regulated means you don't get upset.
2. Authenticity means acting on what you feel. Anything less is repression.

Both are wrong. Good emotional regulation is feeling flexibly. You feel the feeling, and then you get to make choices about what you do with it.

To do this, we have to expand the space between what we feel and what we do. That's the whole game of emotional regulation - creating enough space to become someone who chooses what we do rather than being automated by our habits.
