Emotional Regulation
God has made us wonderfully. Our emotions and our bodies are closely connected. In fact, emotion always happens in the body. Just as emotions affect the body, the body affects emotions. There are bodily techniques that can be learned to bring about a healthy emotional experience. This course aims at equipping you with the skills to have healthy control over your emotions so that they can be used as God intended them to be used.

"My emotions tend to go from 0 to 10, and I then have to calm myself down. This course gave me tools to regulate my emotions earlier in the process. I’m still practicing and getting better at using them, but now I have specific strategies to work on—not just a general hope to do better. Plus, I’m teaching my kids these skills as I learn!" - 2025 Course Participant
