Introduction
    
        Some days your emotions feel like they're driving a runaway train. 
        You might react strongly to small situations or find yourself shutting down when stress builds up. 
        Maybe you shut down when things get tough and can't talk to anyone. 
        This happens to all of us sometimes. 
        Learning emotional regulation means you get to be in the driver's seat of your feelings. 
        Our program shows you simple ways to handle big emotions before they take over your day.
    
    What It Means to Control Your Emotions
    
        Emotional regulation is learning to feel your emotions without letting them boss you around. 
        It's not about stuffing your feelings down or pretending you're fine. 
        It's about feeling mad without throwing things, or feeling sad without staying in bed all day. 
        Some people have emotional dysregulation, which means their feelings change really fast. 
        Others deal with emotional imbalance where one feeling sticks around too long. 
        Self regulation means you can feel everything but still choose how to act.
    
    When Your Emotions Run Wild
    
        Life gets messy when you can't control how you react. 
        You say mean things when you're upset and feel bad later. 
        You make choices based on how you feel in the moment instead of what's smart. 
        Your family never knows which version of you they'll get. 
        You feel exhausted from all the emotional ups and downs. 
        But when you learn emotional regulation, things calm down. 
        You stop saying things you regret, your relationships get better because people feel safe around you, 
        and you make decisions with your head and your heart working together.
