Anxiety and Emotional Regulation

Anxiety and emotional regulation are very common clinical predicaments. The experience of panic or losing control over one’s sense of emotional reaction can feel incredibly overwhelming and discouraging. It can become difficult to engage in daily life when facing the fear that one may not have control over their emotional response in the world.

The good news is that anxiety and emotional regulation are treatable issues. The combination of an authentic therapeutic relationship, tools for self soothing and regulation, and a venue for talking through one’s internal world are often enough to regain a sense of confidence. In some circumstances the addition of medication can assist in the therapeutic process.
