Scenario

When couples have conflicting emotional regulation approaches

My partner and I both read about different emotional regulation techniques and we keep trying to help each other during difficult moments but our approaches clash — I need space to process and they want to talk through everything immediately, and now our attempts to support each other just create more conflict. We're both committed to growing but I think we're working against each other without meaning to.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people with different regulation styles are inadvertently triggering each other while trying to be helpful.
