About this listen

In this MW episode of Between the Sessions, we continue our walk through Permission to Feel by Marc Brackett, focusing on Chapter 8: Emotion Regulation.


Emotion regulation isn’t about shutting feelings down or “handling it better.” It’s about understanding what emotions are asking of us — and responding with intention instead of reaction.


In this episode, we explore:

• What emotion regulation actually means (and what it doesn’t)

• Why regulation is a skill, not a personality trait

• How stress, service, and constant responsibility affect our ability to regulate

• Practical reflections for first responders, veterans, and anyone carrying a heavy load


These MW episodes are meant to be short resets — moments to pause, reflect, and build emotional awareness that lasts beyond the week.


🎧 Between the Sessions is a podcast about recovery, readiness, and real conversations — because recovery is not weakness, it’s preparation.
