Increasing Emotional Regulation

Emotions are necessary and important.

They let us know how we’re feeling.

They are the communication between our inner world and our outer environment.

They also allow us to perceive and understand other people’s emotions and experiences.

It also reduces a person’s ability to empathize with and effectively interact with others.

For many people who have experienced traumatic relationships or struggled with attachment, emotions can feel like a rollercoaster. Some may feel numb or disconnected, while others might experience intense anger or sadness. And for some, expressing vulnerable emotions like love can be very difficult.

In my trauma-informed coaching practice, I work with you to build a strong emotional foundation that enables a deeper understanding of your feelings, motivations, and reactions. Together, we’ll help you take control of your emotional experiences, allowing you to show up more authentically and confidently in your relationships and everyday life.

It’s about developing self-awareness, being open to vulnerability, and learning how to connect with yourself and those around you.

Emotional resilience includes learning how to recognize, label, acknowledge, and accept your emotions as they arise. Increased emotional resilience also includes learning how to cope with vulnerability without shame, or letting your emotions get the best of you.
