How can I help an emotionally unstable partner?
It may be easier said than done, but it’s important to remain calm when they become emotional. Try to model good emotion regulation skills. Avoid yelling, screaming, or making accusations.
Express your feelings calmly and using ““I”” statements. Try to suggest that your partner make time for calming activities, such as relaxation, exercise, or meditation.
Remember to take care of yourself, too. If your partner continues to struggle with emotions, they may benefit form working with a therapist.
