Self-regulation isn't something we are born with; it's a skill we learn and strengthen with intention.
AUTHOR, PSYCHOTHERAPIST, AND MENTAL HEALTH EDUCATOR
ABOUT NICOLETA DRAGAN
I am a psychotherapist and mental health educator focused on self-regulation and how our experiences shape our emotions, worldview, and sense of self.
My approach combines both education and practice. Education helps us gain insight into why navigating life can feel so difficult at times, while practice nurtures our inner balance.
BUILDING INNER BALANCE
It is the quiet power of self-regulation in moments of stress, fear, or conflict that helps us pause before reacting, take a break before speaking, or stay present when wanting to shut down or run away.
The ability to self-soothe and remain grounded in times of distress provides the internal stability we need to effectively navigate life’s challenges.
