This post is a follow-up to my previous story about the criticality of emotional health, attracting the attention of my subscribers, who wanted me to provide perspectives from a cognitive psychology angle, introducing them to cognitive strategies they can use for emotional regulation based on my experience.

For new readers, I wrote hundreds of articles, blog posts, and personal stories about mental health and participated in international conferences as a speaker, sharing my research. My content made a significant global impact (96.60%) and was algorithmically chosen among the top 10 thought leaders in the field, as I documented in a previous article. I enjoy passing along my research, tacit knowledge, and experiences of mental and physical health through my writing to empower my readers.
