Asense of peace is an internal experience. Unfortunately, it cannot be meaningfully improved simply through serene environments, exercise or relaxing rituals. Rather, inner peace is a consequence: It is one of the many rewards of having achieved psychological strength and emotional stability.
If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, your experience may be related to problems regulating your emotions.
Emotion regulation is the capacity to experience a full spectrum of emotions without feeling overwhelmed, losing control or acting out in impulsive or unproductive ways.
Emotion regulation is fundamental to a sense of stability and wellbeing. Difficulty with it can make life feel more chaotic and less manageable. It is virtually impossible to feel a sense of peace when your emotions could take over at any time.
Dr. Agree addresses emotion regulation from multiple perspectives, both indirect and direct. She believes the more tools you have to help you acquire this vital skill, the better.
Some of these skills are simple, such as identifying and labeling feelings, meditating and journaling. Others are more sophisticated and individualized, including learning to mentalize. Part of your work with Dr. Agree will be to discover the methods of emotion regulation that work best for you.
Whether you’re seeking therapy for adults, teens, kids, or couples, Dr. Agree and her carefully selected independent therapists are here to help you create meaningful change. Serving clients across Birmingham, Bloomfield Hills, and nearby communities.
