Emotional buffer

An emotional buffer is a resource or condition that mitigates the impact of stress and difficult emotions on functioning.

Definicja

Emotional buffer is a practical developmental concept, not a formal diagnosis. It may be sleep, relationships, social support, sense of meaning, the ability to name emotions, a stable daily rhythm or previous regulation strategies. Research on social support describes a stress-buffering effect: the availability of support may reduce the negative impact of stressors on well-being.
