Strong Emotional Regulation

Checklist

SKILL I DEMONSTRATED THIS SKILL

EMOTIONAL AWARENESS & LITERACY

I am attentive and aware of my emotions. I can use the Affect Mat and Emotion
Wheel to help me describe them.

I have a range of words to describe my affect so it is precise (granulated).

I am in tune with my thoughts and feelings from moment to moment – I can notice
and explain them and how they may be linked to each other.

I can identify the 5C need (and specific card with this) behind my ‘affect’ accurately.

EMOTIONAL TOLERATION

I let myself feel all different emotions, the pleasant and the unpleasant, rather than
trying to push them away.

When I have an upsetting thought or feeling, I can let myself experience it and
think it through, rather than ignoring it.

I can manage the feelings of frustration or disappointment when things go wrong
(frustration or disappointment control) in ways that are ok for others around me e.g.
by explaining what is up rather than screaming.
