TOPIC: Emotions & Feelings — How can I practice emotional regulation?

Coping effectively with life and creating healthy relationships are signs of emotional well-being. Healthy regulation of emotions and feelings is central toward this goal. All emotions and feelings, even uncomfortable ones, have a purpose. They are also the earliest indicators of unrest or disturbances related to people, places, things, or situations. If unregulated, they often precede and fuel unhealthy behaviors. This card deck will help you explore and communicate what you are feeling. It also provides healthy coping strategies to help regulate your emotions. Allowing yourself to feel all emotions is healthy. Sharing your feelings with others can help you deal with difficult situations.
