Resilience & Emotional
Regulation
Difficulties staying in control of energy and emotions can therefore
be about how sensitive or vulnerable you are when things go
wrong and how easily you react and get upset.
What can you do if you are vulnerable and
react easily?
You can build resilience by:
▪ Connections: making stronger connections with people so you
feel loved, cared for and supported (see our Parachutes of
Support model for further information on how to do this).
This can be through:
o Asking for help to sort out problems with people who
you’ve had a bad relationship with.
o Looking at joining new clubs
or groups to do things you
are interested in.
