Struggling with Big Emotions?​

You find yourself navigating big emotions, perhaps you’ve been told that emotions can’t be trusted. So you find ways to minimize and cope with your feelings.

Therapy can help

Some of the coping behaviours may look like

  • Over-relying on food, alcohol and other substances to regulate your emotions
  • Engaging in impulsive behaviours like spending a lot of money, risky sexual behaviour, gambling, binge eating etc.
  • Disconnecting from the world (mindlessly scrolling on your phone, feeling numb, dissociating, difficulty figuring out what you want etc.) when in the thick of big emotions
  • Excessive agitation
  • Easily tearful
  • Overworking and constantly staying busy
  • Zoned out and unable to get things done

  • Feeling out of control and being overwhelmed

  • Big swings in emotions
  • Indecisiveness
