Unhelpful Advice on Emotional Regulation
There is a lot of unhelpful advice about emotional regulation on the internet, such as scream therapy and venting. Research shows that these strategies can actually make emotional dysregulation worse and increase anger levels over time. The popular 'name it to tame it' theory, which suggests labeling emotions to decrease their intensity, may also hinder emotional regulation by diminishing the ability to reinterpret situations and use acceptance strategies. Diving into feelings and catharsis can be counterproductive, as it keeps us stuck in negative emotions. Instead, we can use strategies like widening our options, reframing situations, and managing our attention to regulate our emotions effectively.
