Sometimes it’s not the situation that overwhelms us, it’s our nervous system’s reaction to it.
That’s what emotional dysregulation is all about.
In this week’s episode, I sat down with therapist Crystal Rodenbaugh to unpack a topic many people quietly struggle with: when your emotions feel too big, and your reactions seem out of proportion, even to you.
We talked about why small triggers can lead to big feelings, how early experiences shape our emotional patterns, and why the goal isn’t to stay calm all the time but to stay connected to yourself and to others.
Emotional dysregulation is not a sign of weakness.
It’s a sign that your body and mind are asking for safety, awareness, and understanding.
And once you recognize that, you can start regulating instead of reacting.
