Understanding the Connection: Substance Use Disorder (SUD) and emotional regulation are deeply interconnected. Many individuals struggling with addiction use substances as a way to cope with overwhelming emotions, past trauma, anxiety, or depression. Without healthy emotional regulation skills, individuals may turn to alcohol or drugs to numb pain, avoid distress, or manage stress. However, alcohol and other substance use often worsens emotional instability, leading to increased impulsivity, mood swings, and difficulty coping with daily life.
The Role of Emotional Dysregulation in SUD: People with SUD often experience:✔ Difficulty managing stress and frustration✔ Impulsive decision-making✔ Intense emotional highs and lows✔ Trouble handling triggers without turning to substances✔ Difficulty expressing emotions in a healthy way
