Season 4, Episode 18: Getting better at handling hard emotions

We all experience difficult emotions – those might include frustration, sadness, anxiety, or anger. But sometimes those feelings can become overwhelming, making it harder to think clearly, communicate effectively, or respond in ways we're comfortable with.

In this episode, psychologist Long Zhou talks about emotional regulation: what it means, why it can be challenging, and how we can get better at managing difficult emotions. Long also shares strategies for navigating intense emotions in the moment, along with everyday habits that can help us build emotional regulation skills over time.
