In this episode, I'm talking about the work of Ellen Kelly and Katherina Ntourou on emotional self-regulation. This component of temperament is essential to take into account in therapy, as far as the child, parents and therapist are concerned because at any age, we use emotional self-regulation and co-regulation to deal with situations. Some concrete ideas from the article by Binns et al. 2019 are explained for your reflection.
