Take a min. Walk away, say you will get back with the person. Practice deep breathing or grounding techniques. Choose how you want to respond, not impulsively react. There is a big difference. Then, when you’re ready, continue the conversation. Great coping skills given here. Practice makes progress. ❤

[@eugenekrabs3837]

That only works If the person you're arguing with respect's your feelings most times this isn't the case if you practice controlling your emotions during an argument then you'll be able to remain calm and change the outcome of most arguments now how do you do this by your goal meaning more than how you feel example imagine a loved one is drowning and you're terrified of water yet you still jump in why? Because the goal meaning saving your loved one is more important than how you feel see when it comes to emotions they are volatile and quick one must learn how to control that mind you you're human so not every time you'll be able to do this but it's worth practicing

Despite the number of things listed in this video, I still struggle with emotional regulation because of having ADHD, autism, depression, and anxiety, and a brain injury before I was born. I also have alexithymia, which makes it hard for me to put my emotions into words for people to understand me. Things get very complicated when your own brain doesn’t work the way it should when you’re dealing with emotional regulation issues, so I have to keep an even larger tool box of strategies to help me with regulating my emotions.

[@sonalisingh1808]

You are really brave 💪🏼 Stay strong, love of love & virtual hugs.❤🫂

[@travisarmour8709]

same with me (except the brain injury) - what have you found useful in being *aware* that you are or have become dysregulated. All of these techniques on this video do not address this very basic concept that is at the core of dysregulation - being aware. I meditate, use alarms and notes and Im fine and then someone cuts me off in traffic and all that goes right out the window ... so any insights on that?

[@trellis5926]

I strongly relate to this. It’s difficult with how society doesn’t see mental health as a priority, plus it’s not generally noticed how social media can add to distress through escapism and paying our emotional health any mind.

[@mrog2433]

The problem is you're labeling all these things and you've identified with them. Know that your brain is highly elastic and can change with a change of perception and habits. Try doing yoga, journaling and exercise. Keep less time on the phone and more on long engaging tasks. Your brain would rewire itself

[@ibinkyz]

​@@mrog2433 educate your ignorant self and never recommend yoga for disabled people again. You're wasting your time and our patience. Again, educate yourself.

[@KatieVanHelsing]

Hello! Someone who catastrophizes a lot here and is trying to work on it. It’s hard to rewire your brain and in the moment it does feel like it won’t change. Listen to that little voice in you that you will get through it. You will be okay. Yes, in the moment, you will feel like you can’t, but reach out. Call a therapist or a help line or a friend. Let yourself cry and feel without shame. And trust me, I need to be reminded of this too. But I promise, you will be alright. It will pass and you will come out the other side. You’re brilliant, don’t forget it

[@ProsteKiara]

Great video. But sharing your bad thoughts with friends has it's limit. I almost lost someone, because they offered to be there for me and it was going round and roud in circles, I was never chill. Got called crazy. Now I'm kind of not allowed to express it anymore, because it makes them uncomfortable. I told them I must be draining and they kept taking it until it was too much. Like, if any of you have enough of somebody's complaining, maybe tell them. If I knew, I would find other ways to handle it. But I'm very grateful they were there for me. It's just not the same and I wouldn't feel relief expressing it anymore.

[@djdtk]

You have to be mindful of other people's emotional and mental capacity and time. Sharing too many negative thoughts with someone can bring them down, too. Free emotional labor from friends definitely is limited. Sometimes it's best to pay a professional therapist.

[@SkinnyEatWorld95]

[@siennaprice1351]

I have a hard time regulating my emotions. I usually fight them off and try to ignore them or get rid of them. I often judge myself for feeling my emotions. I am working on freely expressing myself without judgment. Music is my way of expressing myself through improvisational music. Playing many different instruments or singing as a form of communication and regulation. Deep breathing and meditation are also beneficial. I also enjoy being outside, doing sensory activities that bring me joy, peace and comfort. I do use a lot of negative self talk when I’m feeling dysregulated, mainly punishing myself for feeling that way. But I feel like music is such a safe place for me to express those emotions without judgment. I’m also in music therapy, which I find to be very beneficial.

[@Enifspe55756]

I agree. It's like shameful to express emotion. That's why many people don't want to talk about it or not want to seek therapy (even for once). It makes them feel guilty, even more stressed or appear weak. That's why if someone coming to me and suddenly express their emotion, I will try hard not to judge them. Maybe they just want me to listen and not say a word. 🤔

Also it is important to remember that people will experience emotions differently- even family! For example, some people respond to rage by wanting to break something, while others respond to rage by fleeing. This can be affected by genetics, the environment one grew up in, and personal experiences. I used to compare my emotional responses to others’ (a bad habit I still struggle with to be honest), but with some work I am better at treating myself with kindness

I do all of these when im going through high stress times or one of my over-stimulated breakdowns. The one that helped the most with getting me out of those tailspins was acting as two people having a conversation. One being the teacher (in a zen sense) who would outloud ask "what are you feeling?" And thus responding outloud with the honesty answer and going back and forth until i had better perspective of how i was feeling and more importantly why i was feeling that way. Once i am able to understand and recognize this, it gave me the control and power to accept and reassess.

Why DON'T they teach this in schools? They act like being good at academics is all you need, but it isn't true. I was considered really bright, but once I got mentally ill, I kept attempting suicide and experienced trauma and by the end of it all, I had lost a lot of memory (I once had brilliant memory) because of brain damage from trauma and the failed suicide attempts (mainly ODs) and cognition and wasn't able to work or go to college. All this happened because not only do they not tell you how to handle it, but they don't care when you struggle either.

[@AC-ni4gt]

I can understand that it sounds really hard to do in that state of mind. I've been there too and still am struggling with it. It even feels like all your efforts are in vain and not worth the time. Even stepping back sounds ridiculous. I personally need a therapist to help me step back mentally and emotionally. I'm 31 and still struggle with my emotional regulation. Because some of my worst impulsive moments is when my emotional regulation is at its lowest. I can say that I'm in a better place than I was last year and two years ago.

[@Enifspe55756]

That's true. So does everyone. You can't walk without gets fall off and try again. Think of it like when you look at a baby grow up to be a toddler. That's part of life. Some people gets a different way to learn and may progress slower than others. Some people gets harder from the start only to enjoy life later. Some people gets everything handing to them on silver plate, only to be easily taken from them and get crushed. You start over again. You see. It's what you will get. After overcome obstacles or challenge, you will get even more challenge. I would say higher level. If you can't survive, ask for help. If you have no idea what to do and no one help, you will reset back to lesser level. That's okay. It's fine. Everyone has it. Try to relax and see the bright side. Plants gets it. They get pests. Some needs help from human. Some doesn't need to get it bcs they are supposed to be outside plants and dislike too much human touches. Some plants can easily thrive without watering every day. Some require watering 1-2x a day. That's part of life. Other methaphor. Human who gets diabetes can still alive. But it doesn't mean they supposed to be sad all the time. It doesn't mean change lifestyle can be cured. There is no such a thing as quick fixed. You may think injection are helpful. But it will come back when you gets unhealthy diet again. Everyone is different. Some gets worse after injection, some doesn't get it. The system in your body already damage. But it doesn't mean you are dead just yet. I noticed this from fellow diabetic. They can be happy and stay productive even as diabetic. That helps me to see the bright side on my problems. Always look at others who may not be so lucky (have a home, foods, etc) and be grateful. That's it.

[@EldestZelot]

Respectfully, that's not how emotion works (purely in regard to the being perfect or 100% okay). Trauma causes dysregulation and cognitive overload through cluttered emotions and primed responses in your mind space. Never fall to the Nirvana fallacy of assuming anyone is "perfect" and individuals with anxiety, depression or trauma are broken or damaged. They are people with more on their plate, not a broken plate. The distinction is very important. They can always readjust said plate and reduce the load one step at a time. Techniques such as cognitive restructuring help de prime emotioally negative stimuli which would have normally only further lead to trauma responses being elicited. No one is 100% okay, some have healthy coping mechanisms and still have a lower breaking threshold, some don't realise they already passed it and others may exclusively rely on unhealthy coping strategies and never develop depression. We are neuroanatomically roughly the same, barring placement. But neurochemically, the levels vary between us, even something as simple as perception differs between individuals. Personality has a wide spectrum, as well as your own individual constitutional valences such as locus of control, but at the end of the day your mindset is the pointing step of your mental direction. Assuming you're already lost before you even took a step will only stop you moving forward.

[@Enifspe55756]

I am not gonna say that I am nice, humble, kind, genuine, authentic, healthy, etc. I am still human. I can feel sad and then happy again. It's natural. For example. Seeing my sister get fall down, ofc I feel sad. But that doesn't mean I can do something about it. Try to help as best as I can and be happy again. Just like that. I don't understand why people don't like to see someone crying and not want to cry. 🤔 I think it's what human do. Just like when you have acne on your facial skin. It is not entirely bad. It's a sign of bad lifestyle (drink alcohol, smoking, etc) that you should stop or minimize to do it until permanently quit, maybe lack of sleep, lack of water, lack of hygiene, lack of education and self awareness (ex. not educated yourself for choosing the right products. Like makeup, skin care, body care, etc.). It's okay to have acne. It is okay to have wrinkles. I don't think it's bad. I cherish it like a honor badge and make me feel human. Learn how to get better. Avoid toxic people as much as you can. It's not that you hold grudges or whatever. But you have a right not to react and get influenced by them. Haters will stay as haters. Instead of trying to please them. You need to just do what you can and want to do. That's it. Self meditation like yoga helps me a lot to stay alive. Write down what you feel and think on journal. Drink herbal tea. Use healing bowl or listen to calming music. Change your mindset and lifestyle can't be done easily overnight. Just take a baby steps are better. Don't share your writing to others who will judge and laughing at you. Just think of it like photo albums. You can come back and read it again.

I have intense emotional dysregulation at times, and I finally did decide to get help at the beginning of this year. Learning to regulate your emotions can be difficult, but it's well worth it.

Progressive muscle relaxation is a good technique too, I think. It helps if you get really tensed up.

I had a deep fear of abandonment and sought out a therapist. After about half a year of therapy, she suddenly started commenting how much better I was doing and how I was improving, even though to me it didn't seem that way at all. On the last session we had she said cheerfully that I was doing so well, she didn't think I needed therapy anymore. I was stunned. I told her I thought she was wrong, and I felt far from better, let alone "ready to leave therapy". After some discussion it came out that really she had been offered a position on a psychology investigative team and she had to stop seeing her current clients, which is why she had been pushing me to believe that I was better. Like the beaten dog I am, I wished her good luck on the project and assured her I would be fine. Now I am going through really hard times and my SO insists I try to find a professional to talk to, but I can't help but distrust them. How do I regain trust in therapy when literally someone I was paying not to abandon abandoned me too?

I appreciate tips videos like this, thank you. Maybe "how to express yourself properly" or such can be an idea for the next video. Because there are some people who seems like can't tell the different between being expressive and being....an exhibitionist.

I was never taught any of this. I had to self teach, starting from about the age of 23 onwards. Hard work. Damaged family, with a very transactional parenting style. Can’t change them, but I can change myself. Some days I still feel like a fxxcking lead balloon though. I’ve won competitions, came top of my class, gotten awards. All out of compulsive workaholism arising from my upbringing and various enabling factors and people rewarding me for it. Occasionally interspaced with burnout when I would grind to a complete halt, and usually adopt an entirely new field or job as a result, and then repeat the pattern. Feels like most of my life has been wasted running on a fxxking hamster wheel. Sorting out my emotions has been by far the hardest thing I’ve done, requiring the longest sustained commitment. Punching concrete feels less painful. It’s not something you can think or study or work your way out of (I tried - made little difference and might have even been counterproductive). People with simpler lives and far less than I have are often 10x happier.

[@anthonywalker6268]

I don't know, as someone with the people teaching emotions in school a lot for meltdowns. It'd probably be more suppression.

[@AC-ni4gt]

It's not suppression. If it was suppression: they'd be told to force a psychological mask on and act like nothing's wrong.

I learned everything I know about emotional regulation by NOT behaving like my parents. It was a regular thing to watch my dad having temper tantrums in public and getting kicked out of shopping centres. I've been the peacekeeper since I was 6 years old, and I learned the difference between healthy and unhealthy emotions the hard way

[@Elijahh680]

What are some apps that help track your feelings??

[@anuruksuriyaarachchi3988]

I also wanna know.

[@ninathetarotgirl]

Some people just dont wanna hear this and ignores as many ways has offered. Thats when I know I need to set boundaries and take a step away. If he insists to stay in his dissmisive and ignorance, then I'll proceed to leave. I understand what is a healthy adult is, and he wasnt. He didn't face himself nor improving. All he good at is shifting blames, dismissing people's feelings and shifting blames. I will never tolerate with that excessively or blindly. I seek improvement with those who wants to improve themselves and invest in relationships.

Thank you! 🫶🏽

[@BobCorraro]

Thanks for your videos ❤

[@Frostgnaw]

I got this idea from reddit, but I've been recording how I feel for the past two years via a spreadsheet. I've expanded it to 3 emotions per day for each part of my day and how I felt during those time periods. A majority of the time I have no real emotional feedback, so when you ask your kid, "how was your day?" and they respond with, "eh, nothing interesting," there's a high likelihood that they are telling the truth.

[@Psych2go]

That's such a neat idea! What 3 emotions do you select from?

[@Frostgnaw]

@@Psych2go oh I have like 10+ emotions I choose from and add more as I come across them (kinda running out of colors). I just record how I felt during the morning, afternoon, and evening. And then I do that every day.

[@swegdoge]

with all due respect, i feel like these only work on paper if we live in a vacuum. if someone has a lot of their autonomy restricted or have toxic aspects of their environment that are highly resistant to change i really doubt they will have the headspace or luxury to reap the benefits of these techniques. i guess they just arent the intended target audience sadly

[@mebubu]

You have such a nice voice😌

[@datguy6745]

when looking at the "emotion-wheel", i noticed i experienced all of those in the last years so frequently and in such a quick exchange, RN i kindof dont feel anything and all of them in tandem. No interest in doing anything or meeting anyone, even my mum, no motivation, sleepless nights, my room looks like sh*t and i cant be bothered, substance abuse etc. I kindof dont want to be here anymore ngl.

I liked this recommendations, very interesting owo and the artist of this video it looks very good! 😍❤

[@markprothero2666]

Our parents are supposed to teach us this. Not schools. Both of your parents are responsible. For choosing a suitable partner in the first place, to act as a good role model. To be a good role model themselves. And to commit to 18 years of raising a child together.

[@catjana9813]

Every video I watch from this channel is slowly making me realize that I'm not fine. I feel like God is telling me something

[@annaburns2865]

I’ve been wondering this for a long time. Also, schools aren’t supposed to teach us these. Parents are.

[@niasiamack9333]

I have difficulty regulating my emotions thanks psych2go for making this video

[@dcombat3241]

Accepting and letting them burst out, I don't really know mỏe beyond that

[@Innere_Stille]

I’m watching this because things keep disappearing in my room, I believe it’s my mom she’s taking my water bottle’s and food rappers. She doesn’t like me eating in my room, so why doesn’t she confront me? She knows, she’s seen other private things I had (personal things with my friends) that aren’t to “appropriate”, I know she took it but she hasn’t talked to me about it. Whenever I talk to her she just seems mad. I don’t know how to feel. Stressed, scared, upset, mad, or maybe I just shouldn’t care.

[@JIMWESTDG]

I hear that all the time, recognize what you're feeling, allow yourself to feel it fully, acknowledge your feelings; but...no one ever explains exactly what that MEANS. What does it look like to do so? Or anything else. They just say it as if EVERYONE KNOWS what it means and how to do it. I know what emotions I'm feeling when I'm feeling it, but that doesn't really make it any better. It still sucks.

[@MikoRaiton]

Can you make a video of ur drawing process pls, I love ur art it's so cute and nice
