How do challenging life events affect us?
12 January 2024
We want to learn more about how challenging life events, whether small or big, affect everyone; in particular, the tendency to notice bodily sensations and regulate emotions, which are two things believed to impact on our emotional wellbeing. You are invited to take part whether or not you identify as having a history of challenging life events, as I believe it is important to understand the experiences of everyone in in order to develop support for those negatively affected by such events.
