We are living through a pandemic that most of us could never have imagined. Many of us are not in the best emotional shape. Emotions matter for health and wellbeing – how we feel influences our bodies, including physical and mental health.

Learning to regulate unpleasant emotions and experience more positive emotions have been shown to have health benefits including greater resilience.
