Emotional regulation means recognizing, labeling, and thoughtfully responding to the full spectrum of emotions, even those deemed 'negative' like anger or shame.
Research indicates that accurately labeling our emotions—known as emotional literacy—leads to better navigation through stress, skillful conflict handling, and improved relationships.
People often avoid clarifying their negative emotions out of fear it will amplify their unhappiness, yet studies show that acceptance can actually reduce depression.
Leaders often misuse emotional regulation as a means to suppress negative feelings, missing the opportunity to understand and manage the full range of emotions.
