People often feel more than one emotion at a time, and there are often multiple causes for someone's emotional state. Emotions, feeling them, expressing them, or not expressing them, influence our behaviors and actions. Learning how to cope with emotions and expressing emotions in productive ways is called emotion regulation. Emotion regulation can help us in times of crisis or trauma.
