How to Deal With Dysregulation in Relationships

In managing dysregulation in relationships, it is crucial to plan in advance for moments when dysregulation occurs to be effective. Rather than telling someone to calm down, a better approach is to suggest a pause in the action, regroup after a certain time, and engage in reflective listening when returning to the conversation. Utilizing tools like the STAR method or setting a time to cool off can help in de-escalating tense situations. It is essential to recognize when a situation is spiraling and address the need for a pause to prevent further escalation.
