What Lies Beneath the Surface? Emotional Regulation
Faced With a Problem? Problem Managers Emotional Regulators
What is Emotional Regulation? • A method of controlling your emotions when you find yourself in a situation where you don’t see a “way out” or a solution • Solutions must be things you feel: • Confident • Capable/Control • Able • Willing • When you don’t, you justify or rationalize doing something else (or not doing anything)
Emotional Regulation: Examples • There is a traffic jam • You cannot control it • “It wasn’t that important of a meeting anyway” • “Emily can cover for me.” • A colleague of yours “snubs” you • What would it FEEL like to not have a way of rationalizing or “making it not so bad?”
Emotional Regulation • How does this relate to WIC? • “My baby didn’t seem to like breastfeeding, he prefers the formula.” • “He won’t like that...” • “Clients don’t like this…”
Example: Mom is frustrated and confused about her baby’s crying. Stuck in Traffic Finding their Exit • Seeking solutions with the help of her family, doctor, or WIC about her baby’s behavior Tell herself it is “okay” or that “she must” overfeed to keep her baby from crying
