Summary
This chapter engages with the misconception that one must control or master emotional experience. Emotions cannot be controlled or contained, and by doing so the individual creates inner disturbance and havoc. The author discusses the processes of channeling emotions in growth-promoting practices. Meditation, mindfulness, and creative expression are discussed to provide readers with a multicultural perspective on emotional management. This chapter also discusses the differences and consequences of adaptive and maladaptive emotion regulation habits.
