Is it possible to control your emotions, or should you just look on the bright side?
In short: When disappointment hits, our instinct is often to suppress it or force a positive outlook. This video introduces the Process Model, a psychological framework designed to help you identify, understand, and effectively regulate your emotions rather than simply ignoring them.
The Process Model is a psychological tool developed with insights from Kateri McRae and James Gross. It provides a structured way to navigate emotional responses, such as the frustration of receiving a lower grade than expected after significant preparation.
Rather than relying on simple optimism, the model encourages a more nuanced approach to emotional regulation. By understanding the mechanisms behind our feelings, we can better manage them when life does not go as planned.
