“Emotional Regulation”
This series documents my journey from emotional chaos to inner balance. From emotional dysregulation to emotional regulation. Through black-and-white photography, I’ve captured the intensity of emotions that can feel overwhelming and unmanageable. Each image reflects a moment of vulnerability, but also the strength in healing and self-discovery. This work is a testament to how emotional challenges can transform into personal power.
Emotions come like waves, crashing in,
Uninvited, sudden, pulling me in.
Fear and sadness blend with joy,
Each feeling sharp, too hard to enjoy.
They grow too strong, too big to hold,
A fire inside, raging uncontrolled.
I try to stop them, but they’re too fast,
I lose myself, the storm is too vast.
I hide away, it’s the only way,
To keep these feelings from ruining my day.
Ashamed and scared, I shut the door,
Alone with my emotions, I can’t take much more.
But slowly I learn, I’m not alone,
Through therapy and work, I’ve grown.
I listen, I learn, I start to heal,
I finally begin to understand what I feel.
Now my emotions are my strenght, my guide,
What once felt like chaos, I no longer hide.
They make me powerful, they make me me,
My emotions are my superpower, setting me free.
