Emotional regulation is about being able to manage feelings so they don’t intrude heavily on relationships or day-to-day life. Most of us unconsciously use a range of emotional regulation strategies to cope with difficult situations every day. However some young people become overwhelmed by their feelings and appear unable to self-regulate. This can manifest in different ways depending on the child. For some, it's an instantaneous response, for others the distress can build up with a cumulative pressure manifesting as more complex problems.
Some of the specific areas covered include:
• The neurobiological perspective of emotions and their specific purpose.
• What is emotional regulation and why is it so important?
• A tool-box full of emotional regulation strategies and skills and how to practically utilise them in your work with children and young people.
• Considerations for facilitating emotional regulation in a trauma informed manner with children who have faced adverse events.
