Ep 82: Executive Function Series #4 Emotional Control
Manage episode 473797558 series 3483932
In this deep-dive episode of our executive function series, I share the transformative moment that changed my emotional reactivity and the practical strategies that helped me go from explosive to calm, even in triggering situations.
📌 Key Topics:
- My personal journey with emotional dysregulation in relationships
- The critical connection between emotional control and other executive functions
- Why suppressing emotions is like holding a beach ball underwater
- How naming emotions creates the pause that prevents reactivity
- Breaking free from negative thought spirals with simple redirection
- The power of processing emotions in real-time rather than bottling them up
🗣️ Featured Quote: "I remember the exact moment that I caught myself before reacting for the first time. That pause changed everything."
💡 Strategy Breakdown:
- Name the emotion to ground yourself and gain clarity
- Use the "Or I could be thinking" technique to break thought spirals
- Process with unfiltered thought downloads using the "AND" technique
- Try tapping for anxiety and emotional regulation support
🎯 Coming Up Next: Join us next week as we continue our executive function series with more practical strategies.
🔑 Key Takeaway: Emotional control isn't about suppressing feelings—it's about developing awareness, creating space between trigger and response, and responding intentionally rather than reacting impulsively.
