There are two broad categories of emotion regulation: 1) changing how you think about something that prompted an emotion in order to change your response to it, 2) suppression, which has been linked to more negative outcomes. Other strategies include selecting or changing a situation to influence one’s emotional experience, shifting what one pays attention to, and trying to accept emotions.
