Emotional Regulation Therapy
Feeling like your emotions go from zero to overwhelming with little warning — whether that's anger, tears, panic or shutting down entirely — can affect your relationships, work and sense of control over your own reactions. The Meeting Matters helps you understand your emotional patterns and build real tools to manage intense reactions.

What Poor Emotional Regulation Looks Like
Reacting far more intensely than a situation seems to call for, feeling emotionally "flooded" and unable to think clearly, swinging between over-control and sudden outbursts, or feeling numb and disconnected as a way of coping.
Our Approach
We draw on Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) skills and CBT to help you identify emotional triggers earlier, build a wider range of coping responses, and reduce the intensity and duration of emotional reactions — without suppressing emotions altogether.
Building Long-Term Skills
The goal isn't to stop feeling things strongly — it's to widen the gap between feeling and reacting, so you have room to choose a response instead of being run by the emotion in the moment.

“I am truly grateful to Ms. Tasmiya Asghar and the team at Meeting Matters. I reached out during one of the most difficult periods of my life while dealing with grief and trying to be the best parent I could be for my children. Ms. Tasmiya's kindness, empathy, and guidance helped me navigate emotions that often felt overwhelming. She helped me understand my feelings, regain perspective, and think through practical ways of supporting my children and myself. I always felt respected, heard, and comfortable during our sessions. I would wholeheartedly recommend Ms. Tasmiya Asghar and Meeting Matters to anyone going through a challenging time and looking for professional support in a compassionate environment.”
