Each day we are faced with new challenges that can trigger many different types of emotions. Emotional regulation is the ability to manage and assert control over one's own emotional experience. Emotional regulation can help reduce the intensity of an emotion and allow you to express yourself in a calm and clear way.
Having strong emotional regulation skills can help strengthen relationships, increase job performance, enhance well-being, and lead to better health.
Anger management also called emotional regulation, is a common emotional regulation skill. Through anger management, you are able to learn to recognize your signs of anger, as well as how to properly cope with the anger.
