Why is Emotional Regulation so Important? Part Two: Strengthening Your Will. Artwork

Mental Health for Holiness

A podcast for women who want to find hope in their mental sufferings, and improve their psychological well-being so they can love Jesus more. At the age of 24, Talia Kruse was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder type 2. She wondered how this would affect her future, her faith, and her identity. She felt quite hopeless, unable to find or connect with others who had successfully managed their bipolar disorder in a way that led to growing in holiness and virtue. Encouraged by her psychiatrist, she started a journey of mental healing. After getting married and becoming a mother, Talia saw the desperate need that other women needed in learning to manage their own mental health. She began coaching women and became passionate in spreading hope for all those who suffer from depression, anxiety, eating disorders, bipolar, or are perhaps dealing with loved ones who are suffering from these illnesses. Furthermore, Talia learned to see her management of mental health as imperative for growing in holiness, and loves to explore the connection between psychology and faith.

Why is Emotional Regulation so Important? Part Two: Strengthening Your Will.

February 19, 2025 • Talia Kruse

The second episode of a 3 part series on why emotional regulation is so important.

It today's episode, I'm talking about how emotional regulation helps you strengthen your will. Your will is your ability to choose something. It is your inherent and God-given ability to exercise your freedom - you may not be able to choose every circumstance in your life, but you always have the freedom to choose how you respond to it. So many of us are emotionally reacting to the circumstances in our lives, and we live in a culture that says "Well, what could you do? You didn't have a choice." And that couldn't be farther from the truth. Yes, we have genetics and predispositions, but that doesn't dictate our ability to work with what we've got.
