When it comes to DEI work, what are our thoughts, attitudes, and emotions that come up around making mistakes and engaging in a vulnerable way? How do we look at mistakes and vulnerability as an essential element for growth? When emotions flood, what can we do to better regulate and thereby stay in the moment and grow?

Emotion Regulation
“Emotion regulation” is our ability to effectively manage
and respond to an emotional experience. We unconsciously
use a variety of emotion regulation strategies to cope with
difficult situations many times throughout each day.
Healthy coping strategies do not cause harm, and they can
help to diffuse strong emotions, often allowing for a greater
understanding of what led to the emotional experience.

Our Work Together and
Our Work Back at Home
All emotions are real and correct, and
they are not always under our control.
How we behave when we experience
emotions is under our control, and our
actions can be correct or incorrect.
