Emotion RegulationWe all have an emotional temperature. We tend to like comfortable emotions: joy, surprised, excited, happy, and prefer to stay in our comfort zone. When we begin to feel sad, afraid, frustrated, or angry our emotional temperature goes up, activating our sympathetic nervous system, and we feel less comfortable. Therefore, we want to do something to return to our comfort zone, aka self-regulate by activating our parasympathetic nervous system. The things we do to regulate our emotions can be healthy or unhealthy, determined by the long-term impact they have on our health and well-being. |

Wellness rooms teach healthy coping skills to regulate our emotions, calm our nervous system (bring our emotional temperature down) and allow us to choose how to respond rather than react.
