Self & Co Regulation

Emotional regulation is a fundamental life skill that affects every aspect of our wellbeing. At Mental Oasis, we provide evidence-based tools and resources to help you develop both self-regulation skills and co-regulation techniques for supporting others in your life.

Understanding Self-Regulation

Self-regulation is the ability to manage your emotions, thoughts, and behaviors in healthy ways. It involves:

• Recognizing and understanding your emotional responses
• Managing stress and overwhelming feelings
• Developing healthy coping strategies
• Building resilience and emotional flexibility
• Creating calm and focused states of mind

The Power of Co-Regulation

Co-regulation is the process of helping others regulate their emotions through your own calm, supportive presence. This is especially important for:

• Parents supporting their children's emotional development
• Educators creating calm classroom environments
• Partners helping each other through difficult times
• Anyone wanting to be a calming presence for others
