Regulating Our Emotions: Anger & Fear by Adj A/Prof Angie Chew
Event Information
About this event
Mindfulness is the non-judgmental awareness that keeps us in the present moment. The skills developed from mindfulness practice can help with emotional maturity and regulation in the following ways:
- Calms us down by slowing down our heart-rate and shifts the brain away from fight-flight-freeze responses that hijack the higher cognitive functions.
- Creates the space between stimulus and response and giving us the chance to choose our response resulting in better management of our emotional states.
- Increases our ability to bear with emotional discomfort leading to less reactivity to our emotions.
