Counseling for Emotional Regulation in Wilmington, NC—Counselors and Therapists

Have you ever been through an event that made you feel like your emotions were out of control? How about a situation that made you feel like your emotions were controlling you? This might be a moment of road rage taking over when someone cuts you off in traffic or saying something hurtful in the heat of an argument. In either case, do you wish that you had better control of your emotions?

If so, reach out to Thriveworks Wilmington, NC for emotional regulation help. We have counselors and therapists who are ready to help you.

Why Is Emotional Regulation Important?

It takes practice, but the more we learn to notice and accept our emotions, the more mindfully we can react to them. Studies have found that practicing healthy emotional regulation skills, such as accepting your feelings or changing your outlook, supports our mental well-being, and helps us perform better at work and school.

Emotions themselves are neither good nor bad, but our experiences with them can be difficult or painful. When we don’t know how to deal with distress, we might turn to unhelpful patterns- avoiding or fixating negative emotions- without realizing it.
