#WPSTips 6: #Emotion Regulation skills are taught to help an individual understand how to change their emotions or situations. In some circumstances it is not appropriate, or were unable to change the situation or our emotions in these cases the individual would be encouraged to use #Distress Tolerance skills. Emotions are normal and everyone experiences them. Sometimes; particularly when we have had persistent distressing experiences during our lives, we can have an increased emotional reaction to a situation which others may not find distressing, and where we feel threatened. The distress can be very intense and its difficult to manage ourselves, and situations when things are feeling so over-whelming. Learning Emotion Regulation skills will help us learn to effectively manage and change the way we feel and cope in situations. #emotionregulation
