how to cope when you feel like you have no control over your explosive emotions

Are you a highly sensitive individual who struggles with managing your big feelings? In this episode, we discuss what big feelings are and how they can become overwhelming for highly sensitive people. We explore the concept of emotional permanence, which is the idea that emotions can feel permanent and all-encompassing when we're experiencing them. We also delve into emotional dysregulation, which is the difficulty in regulating emotions, leading to intense and often unpredictable emotional reactions. We also discuss how individuals who struggle with emotion dysregulation can inadvertently emotionally abuse the people they love without being conscious of it.Recommended resources: ■ Martha Beck podcast interview about how deciding to quit lying for a year changed her life■ Book | The Way of Integrity: Finding Your Path to Your True Self by Martha Beck■ YouTube video further describing issues with emotional permanence and BPD■ Article on how to deal with emotional impermanence Enjoyed this episode?
