Regulation strategies

Regulation strategies are methods used to manage and control emotions, thoughts, or behaviors to achieve desired outcomes or maintain well-being. They help individuals respond appropriately to various situations by influencing how they perceive and react. For example, calming techniques like deep breathing help reduce stress, while rethinking a situation can improve mood. These strategies are essential for adaptive functioning, allowing people to handle challenges effectively, maintain relationships, and pursue goals with greater resilience and emotional balance.
