Learning to regulate our bodies and our emotions is an important part of the human experience. This process starts the day we are born as we learn to get our physical needs met (i.e. hunger, body temperature). Then, as we grow and our needs become more complex, we start the process of learning to regulate our feelings and emotions. Navigating emotions can be just as confusing, uncomfortable, and dysregulating as managing our physical discomforts.
