Core Module 2 — Emotions, Emotional Regulation, and Emotional Coping

Foundational Module · Mentalis Method™ — Pillar 2

Module Overview

Emotions shape how we experience ourselves, others, and the world around us. In this module, we explore emotions from the inside out—how they arise biologically, how they develop across the lifespan, how they influence decision-making and relationships, and how we can regulate them effectively.

Through the lens of the Mentalis Method™, Pillar 2 - Emotions, this module combines psychological theory, neuroscience, and practical exercises to help you build emotional awareness, emotional intelligence, and regulation skills. Rather than suppressing or controlling emotions, you’ll learn to understand them, work with them, and respond more intentionally.

Important:
The five micro-courses in this module must be completed in sequence.

Module 2 can be taken independently or as part of the Mentalis Method™ diploma pathway.
