Dialectical Behavioral Therapy For Emotional Dysregulation in Children


Emotional Dsyregualtion


Emotional dysregulation is a common challenge among children, where they face struggles in recognizing emotions, reacting appropriately based on the situation and managing their emotional reactions in various social settings. This can impact their relationships and daily interactions, leading to difficulties in expressing themselves effectively and understanding others' emotional cues.

It is essential to recognize that Emotional Dysregulation in children is not officially identified as a distinct disorder; instead, it is acknowledged as a broad term covering a range of behaviors. These behaviors may arise on their own or coexist with other indications, such as frequent irritability, temper tantrums, and unjustified dramatic outbursts. Understanding and addressing these manifestations early can significantly benefit a child's well-being and emotional development.

If you have challenges in recognizing emotions, displaying suitable emotional reactions in various situations, and managing emotional responses within social environments, I can teach self-regulation skills through Mindfulness and DBT techniques.
