I present an encore release of this podcast episode originally published September 10th, 2022. It's a nice and simple episode about Emotional regulation affecting our Self awareness. I have a very difficult time regulating my emotions when my stress and anxiety levels increase and it causes a great deal of issues!  Imagine having a bunch of children hanging around you, tired, cranky, upset, hungry, wanting to play, etc. Now imagine trying to have a conversation with someone with all these children with you..  You are going to have a difficult time talking to ANYONE when you are dealing with child parts, the emotions and behaviors of a child are basically the same as your child parts and they want to come online and take over and be like those same children hanging around your legs as you struggle to deal with the oncoming stress and increased anxiety you feel because of the situation you find yourself in. If you are not capable of regulating your emotions you will surely struggle to recognize the changes that are happening within you, mentally and physically.  Those who have emotional regulation issues will likely be poor when it comes to their self awareness and will fail to notice things like being triggered, experiencing a flashback and allowing your child parts to behave on your behalf instead of taking control and leaving the situation to process and return later.
