How to Regulate Your Emotions

Regulation is not the absence of feeling. It is the space between having one and being run by it. Most advice about managing emotions amounts to calm down, breathe, let it go — none of it explains what's actually happening in your body when you're upset, or what to do in the ten seconds before you say something you'll regret. This course isn't about suppression, and it isn't about positivity. It's about understanding what emotion actually is, so you can work with it instead of fighting it or being controlled by it. Four modules built on affective neuroscience, clinical psychology, and nervous system research. Each one ends with something to do. None of it is about feeling less.
