Summary
In this episode, learn how to better manage strong negative emotion with Lisa A. Romano's explanation of the necessity of developing a new cognitive pathway. If you struggle with emotional regulation, it is helpful to understand why before trying to manage strong negative emotions. Feeling invalidated as a child teaches you to deny your emotions. In addition, when you are taught your emotions are wrong, or you should not trust them, as an adult, you are not always conscious of how these faulty pathways can interrupt one's ability to effectively manage strong negative emotions.
In this episode, you will discover Lisa A. Romano's third pathway; one you can use to help you better develop emotional regulation.
