Are you struggling with the effects of emotional dysregulation?
Right now, as a result of emotional dysregulation, you may be experiencing:
- Intense emotions that seem to arise quickly and feel overwhelming or out of proportion to the situation
- Difficulty returning to a baseline emotional state once you’ve become upset or activated
- Impulsive reactions during emotional moments that you later regret or that create problems in your relationships
- Rapid shifts between different emotional states, sometimes changing dramatically within a single day or hour
- Physical manifestations of emotions like racing heart, shallow breathing, or tension that signal emotional overwhelm
- Challenges in identifying what you’re feeling beyond a general sense of being “overwhelmed” or “triggered”
- A sense that your emotions control you rather than you having control over your emotional responses
Your emotional dysregulation may be getting in the way of your life in these ways:
- Your relationships suffer from conflicts triggered by emotional reactivity or misunderstandings about your emotional needs
- Your work performance is affected when emotions interfere with concentration or professional interactions
- Your self-esteem is damaged by shame or guilt about emotional outbursts or perceived overreactions
- Your decision-making is compromised when intense emotions override logical thinking or long-term goals
- Your overall well-being is diminished by the exhaustion of riding emotional rollercoasters and managing their aftermath
You’re wondering…
- Why do my emotions feel so much more intense or unmanageable than other people’s seem to be?
- Is there something wrong with me, or is this related to past experiences that shaped my emotional responses?
- How can I recognize when I’m becoming dysregulated before I reach the point of emotional overwhelm?
- What strategies can help me respond rather than react when strong emotions arise?
- Will I ever feel a sense of emotional stability and predictability in my life?
You’re longing for…
- The ability to experience emotions without being overwhelmed by them or acting impulsively.
- Skills to self-regulate and return to emotional balance when you do become activated.
- Understanding of the patterns and triggers that contribute to your emotional dysregulation.
- Relationships where your emotions are understood and responded to with compassion rather than judgment.
- Freedom from the shame that often accompanies emotional dysregulation and its interpersonal consequences.
How we can help you.
At Evergreen Counseling, we understand that emotional dysregulation often has roots in temperament, early attachment experiences, trauma, or neurobiological differences. Our therapists create a safe, non-judgmental environment where you can explore the origins of your emotional patterns while developing practical skills for greater regulation.
What you’re longing for is possible.
By pursuing trauma therapy for emotional dysregulation, you can imagine the following:
You feel at the mercy of intense emotions that seem to hijack your thoughts, behaviors, and relationships.
You recognize early warning signs of emotional activation and can implement regulation strategies before becoming overwhelmed.
Your emotional reactions feel disproportionate to situations, leading to confusion and shame about your responses.
You understand your emotional patterns and triggers, allowing you to prepare for challenging situations proactively.
You struggle to return to a baseline state once triggered, sometimes taking hours or days to fully recover.
