Child & adolescent therapy

Emotional Regulation

Building the capacity to notice, name and manage strong feelings

What it can look like

  • Meltdowns out of proportion to the trigger
  • Difficulty calming once upset
  • Big feelings arriving with no warning
  • Harsh self-criticism after losing control

How we approach it

Age-appropriate skills for catching feelings early and acting on them differently, practised until they hold under stress.
