The Second Step

The Second Step involves developing emotional awareness and self-regulation skills. It helps individuals recognize their feelings, understand how emotions influence their thoughts and actions, and learn strategies to manage strong emotions effectively. This phase promotes thoughtful responses instead of impulsive reactions, fostering better communication, relationships, and problem-solving. By understanding and controlling their emotional responses, individuals can navigate social situations more smoothly and build resilience against stress and frustration. Essentially, it’s about becoming more aware of your feelings and gaining tools to respond to them in healthy, constructive ways.
