The Radical Therapist #141 – Regulating Emotion, Regulating Selves with David Nylund
David Nylund, a social work professor and narrative therapy clinician, challenges the dominance of emotion regulation as a clinical and cultural norm. He explores how regulation can shape acceptable selves and silence responses to structural harm. The conversation questions neutral techniques, reframes anger in context, and calls for transparent, politically informed clinical practice.
