“Feel your feelings. Allow your emotions.”

Ever heard these advices?

Well, then let me tell you, that this is not a good idea for everyone in every situation.

Because, especially if you had a childhood full of trauma, you may sometimes feel angry & furious about little things or just start crying in everyday situations.

This is emotional dysregulation, and it’s caused by early trauma.

And on top of that, we often feel shame & guilt around these emotions. So what can we do?

Today, I show you 7 ways on how to control these emotional outbursts.

You will learn that it’s not your fault if you have these intense emotions, and which skills you need in order to feel less thin-skinned and dysregulated.
