The APA - American Psychological Association, they define Emotion Regulation: "the ability of an individual to modulate an emotion or set of emotions." Explicit emotion regulaton and implicit emotion regulation.

Emotion regulation typically increases across the lifespan. Also called emotional regulation."In this Episode Dr BB teaches her audience the important skill of emotional regulation.
