There are many possible approaches to improving mental equilibrium and emotional regulation. However, many of these don’t take into account where you’re starting from.
While everyone experiences a range of responses, in the face of overwhelming stress, some people may tend to be “over-feelers” and describe themselves as “hyper-sensitive.” Others may have a tendency to numb out and dissociate.
It can be helpful to be aware if you’re default response is toward hyper-sensitivity or detachment when considering what type of approaches to training improved emotional regulation will likely be most helpful for you.
