eazyI started down this path because my wife said I need to learn #deescalation , but I got stuck on it seeming to be about how to handle OTHER people's emotional reactions. #literalthinking bit me yet again.
So, I figured out the term she meant was #emotionalregulation. In reading about it, the implied #ExecutiveFunction requirement made no sense to how I could possibly approach it when #alexithyma hides what I am feeling, so I'm calming down on the backside of an outburst before I realize, "wait, this recent behavior... it's not right. Am I angry?"
The real problem likely is preventing an #autisticmeltdown. In any case, I think what I need are new strategies as what worked while single doesn't while married with a kid.
