The speaker distinguishes regulation from suppression, framing regulated expression as the healthiest way to bring emotions out and deal with them constructively.

Chapters

You can't help how you feel. Sometimes you can't help it. And we don't need to shame each other on how we feel, but how we. How we respond to those feelings and how we share those feelings with others. We have to regulate those. And regulate is an important word. And I think that the more we regulate them, and again, that's not squashing them, that's not lying about them. It's none of that. In fact, it's the healthiest way. It's bringing them out and dealing with them in a healthy way.
