EP #51: Emotional Regulation: The Skill Every Woman Needs (But No One Teaches You)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Emotional regulation is one of the most important skills for your health, mindset and relationships, yet most women were never taught how to actually do it.
In this episode of She Breaks the Rules, we break down what emotional regulation really means and why feeling overwhelmed, reactive, anxious or completely shut down is often a sign that your nervous system is dysregulated.
Tarryn also shares the 4-step emotional regulation framework she uses with her clients to help them move through difficult emotions instead of suppressing them, ignoring them or coping with things like emotional eating.
Because when you learn how to regulate your emotions, you change the way you respond to stress, relationships, parenting, work and your relationship with food.
And that’s exactly how she breaks the rules.
