What you will learn
Regulation is not emotional suppression.
Regulation means recognizing your internal state and responding in ways that reduce harm, preserve capacity, and help you act according to your values. It does not mean forcing yourself to appear calm while distress continues to build.
This course makes internal experiences more concrete through scales, scripts, examples, and short exercises. Complete the lessons in order or begin with the one that matches your immediate need.
