Re controlling emotions, Unchien, made a really great quote once that has stuck with me. I can’t recall exactly, but something along the lines of pausing before reacting to emotionally charged situations. As he quoted “that pause my friend, is control”. For me that pause needs to be a few hours+, but it works.
