Calm your Chaos: Emotion Regulation for the Resilient Trauma Survivor

You and your partner are in an argument. Again. Your partner says something that shouldn’t upset you, but it does. It really does. You feel tension building in your body and next thing you know you snap. You say things you would never normally say. You feel like you are somewhere else in that moment. Defending yourself from all that makes you feel unsafe. Or at least thats how you feel in that instance. The argument ends and you feel shame and guilt, but have no idea how you could have responded differently or what else an argument could look like. Sound Familiar? If so, you have chosen the right read my friend. Welcome. Let’s embark on a journey together to learn about regulation. What it is. What it means. Why to do it. How to do it. I will break down the process step by step and give you the tools you need to master your emotions. Let’s finally make a change in your healing journey and find some of that peace you are looking for.
