Mondo Psychological Updated on 2024-01-30

How do we reassure people around us when they are emotionally out of control?Here are some suggestions to help you better understand and deal with this situation.

First, we need to understand the reasons for the loss of emotional control. Emotional loss of control can be caused by stress, anxiety, depression, or other psychological factors. Understanding the reasons can help us better understand the other person's feelings and provide more targeted support.

Second, we need to give the other person enough attention and listening. When the other person is emotionally out of control, they may need someone to confide in, someone who can understand them. We need to listen patiently to their feelings, not to interrupt them, and not to give advice or solutions too soon. We need to let them know that they are not alone and that someone is willing to listen to them and understand their feelings.

Third, we need to give positive feedback and support. When the other person expresses their feelings and needs, we need to give positive feedback and support. We can tell them that we support their decision, encourage them to ask for help, or tell them that we are willing to accompany them through difficult times. At the same time, we can also provide some practical help, such as providing some advice or resources, or accompanying them to do something they enjoy.

Fourth, we need to respect each other's feelings and decisions. When someone close to us is emotionally out of control, we need to respect their feelings and decisions. We need to let them know that their feelings and needs are very important, but we can't make decisions for them. We need to let them know that we can provide support and help, but that the final decision is up to them.

Finally, we need to remain calm and patient. When the emotions of those around us are out of control, we ourselves also need to be calm and patient. We need to know that emotional loss of control is a normal psychological response that takes time and support to recover. We need to give ourselves and each other some time to adapt and improve, while also giving each other enough support and understanding.

In short, when someone around us is emotionally out of control, we need to give them enough attention and listening, give positive feedback and support, respect each other's feelings and decisions, and remain calm and patient. Only in this way can we better help them return to a healthy mindset and a normal life.

Here are some examples and suggestions for coping with someone who is emotionally out of control:

When you notice someone getting emotional or out of control, start by staying calm and treating them as calmly as possible. Don't show excessive worry or panic, which may irritate them further. Try to make eye contact with them and give them some body language support, such as hugging or patting them on the shoulder.

If possible, try to take the emotionally out of control of the person out of the live setting and into a quiet place to sit and give support and attention. If possible, prepare them with a glass of warm water or some relaxing drink (such as hot tea or coffee).

Avoid giving overly general or abstract advice or words of comfort. Try to understand their feelings and experiences and give specific advice and support. For example: "I know you're having a hard time right now, but try to take a deep breath and relax yourself." Or, "If you need someone to talk to or ask for help, I can be with you." ”

If you find yourself unable to cope with someone who is emotionally out of control or when the situation becomes stressful, it is wise to seek help from others. Discuss the situation with a friend, family member or a professional (such as a counsellor) and seek their advice and support.

Keep in mind that everyone's situation is unique and may require different approaches to support and coping. The most important thing is to give support and understanding and appropriate resources to help them cope with their emotional problems.

Overall, calming someone who is emotionally out of control requires patience, understanding, and a positive attitude. By giving attention, listening, supporting, and respecting their feelings and needs, we can help them get through this and return to a healthy mindset and a normal life.
