Many of us have trouble or make poor choices when we experience difficult emotions. Emotional management can help you better manage situations that trigger anger or other problematic feelings. Men and women in the workplace, formerly incarcerated individuals, and young adults who are transitioning from high school to college or adult life can benefit from improved emotional management skills. People who have experienced trauma or PTSD, abusive relationships, and people who struggle with anxiety and depression can learn to manage the challenges that life presents.
What is emotional management?
Emotional management is the ability to be aware of the range of your emotions – both positive and negative – and to deal constructively with those emotions. Emotional management helps you manage situations that make you feel angry or sad, and better understand your emotions. You can learn self-advocacy skills that will help you succeed in school, at work, and in your personal life.
Emotional management skills help you control how you feel and how you react in different situations. Building emotional management skills are a key part of emotional intelligence (how well a person can identify and understand their own and other people’s emotions). The effort to learn emotional management skills can help you become an effective professional, supportive spouse, and successful spouse.
