Exomind for Emotional Regulation
Exomind (rTMS) and emotional regulation — an emerging research area, discussed alongside established therapies such as DBT for emotional dysregulation.
Difficulty with emotional regulation is most effectively addressed through established, skills-based therapies such as Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, alongside treatment of any underlying condition such as Borderline Personality Disorder. Research into rTMS's effects on the brain circuits involved in emotional regulation is ongoing but remains an emerging area.
Dr. Muhammad Shoaib Zafar prioritises established, evidence-based approaches to emotional regulation, while remaining informed about developing research in this area.
Established Treatment Remains the Priority
DBT and related skills-based therapies have strong, well-established evidence for improving emotional regulation, particularly in Borderline Personality Disorder, and remain the appropriate first-line approach.
Emerging Research
Some research has explored how rTMS might influence brain circuits involved in emotional regulation, but this work is preliminary, and rTMS is not currently an established, standalone treatment for emotional dysregulation.
