Exploring Emotional Regulation in the Bhutanese Community

This qualitative project aims to explore how members of the Bhutanese community perceive and regulate their emotions. Specifically, it investigates the meaning attributed to emotions, culturally preferred regulation strategies, and the role of religion in emotional wellbeing.

The study involves counsellors together with younger and older Bhutanese monks, providing insight into cultural beliefs and intergenerational perspectives on emotional regulation.
