Cognitive Distortions Might Lead to Emotional Dysregulations

When studying cognition methodically, I noticed a robust relationship between our thoughts and emotions, as the cognitive (<a href="https://medium.com/sensible-biohacking-transhumanism/heres-how-i-train-my-brain-daily-for-mental-clarity-and-intellectual-productivity-9526037da82d" rel="noopener">neocortex</a>) and emotional parts of the brain (<a href="https://medium.com/sensible-biohacking-transhumanism/heres-how-i-tamed-my-emotional-brain-for-mental-clarity-and-physical-vitality-c9241c572082" rel="noopener">the limbic system</a>) are connected. Therefore, I focused on balancing my life's intellectual and emotional aspects. Plus, the body and mind team up in this whole process. In simple terms, what we think can strongly influence what we do and how we feel and the other way around, as reflected in <a href="https://medium.com/sensible-biohacking-transhumanism/why-holistic-health-is-a-key-to-a-healthier-happier-and-longer-life-and-how-to-benefit-from-it-5dda3c45ed1e" rel="noopener">holistic health</a> principles. When our emotions are dysregulated, we have difficulty managing and regulating them effectively. We become vulnerable and face intense emotional responses that are disproportionate to the situation or environment, making it difficult to cope with life's challenges. People experiencing emotional dysregulation may have trouble modulating their emotional reactions. This condition might manifest as frequent mood swings, outbursts of anger, uncontrollable crying, impulsivity, and difficulty in calming down after being upset. Emotional dysregulation can contribute to the development or exacerbation of various mental health conditions, including mood disorders, borderline personality disorder, and trauma-related disorders. Like many people, I grappled with cognitive distortions that resulted in emotional dysregulation. Therefore, I thoroughly investigated it and gained valuable insights from the expanding body of knowledge in the mental health discipline. <a href="https://medium.com/illumination/cognitive-distortions-might-lead-to-emotional-dysregulations-18f805e55643">Website</a>
