Emotional Regulation
Individuals who have difficulty with emotional regulation report that they are constantly bombarded by emotional intensity or find that they are unable to feel the normal range of human emotion.
Emotional Regulation is achieving a balanced emotional life where you are neither numbed out from your emotional experiences nor emotionally overwhelmed by them. Achieving emotional regulation is done through both talk therapy as well as learning specific concrete strategies for managing your emotional experiences. Therapy works to help individuals feel more in control of their emotional experiences and reactions and, thus, individuals become more effective in communicating their emotions to others.
Dr. Weber has advanced training in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), which is a structured approach originally designed for the treatment of Borderline Personality.
In addition, research has shown this treatment to also be effective for individuals struggling with controlling the intensity of their emotional reactions. This approach gives individuals concrete techniques to help lessen the emotional intensity they feel and to develop better ways to communicate their feelings to others.
