CoReg (Co-regulation)

Co-regulation (CoReg) is the process by which individuals help each other manage and regulate their emotions, behavior, or state, especially in social settings. It's a mutual, interactive process where people support each other's emotional needs through cues like tone, body language, or words. For example, a parent calming a anxious child or friends reassuring each other during a stressful moment. Co-regulation helps people feel secure and supported, enabling better emotional self-management over time. It’s a fundamental way humans connect and learn how to handle feelings through social interactions.
