MATOS, Marina da Silva de  e  BOROWSKI, Sílvia Batista Von. Emotional experiences and emotional regulation strategiesof clinical psychologists: a qualitative study. Est. Inter. Psicol. [online]. 2019, vol.10, n.3, pp. 160-180. ISSN 2236-6407.  http://dx.doi.org/10.5433/2236-6407.2019v10n3p160.

The Emotional regulation in psychotherapeutic interventions can be effective in dealing with situations such as discomfort, not allowing the emotional status to affect the quality of care. The intention of this study is to address the emotional status of the psychotherapists in intense clinical work situations. To do so, we use a research of descriptive and exploratory nature, in qualitative data. Five interviews were conducted, following a script of semi-structured interviews with open questions. Consequently, the material was transcribed and subjected to the content analysis of Bardin (1977). Although emotional regulation is part of the routine of interviewees, the use of strategies comes from everyday experiences and, in a smaller scale, from learning experiences. It is considered that broadening the understanding of the impact of emotional regulation in clinical practice is necessary for the creation of confrontation strategies that take care of the mental health of the psychotherapist and the service user.

Palavras-chave : psychotherapy; psychotherapist; emotional regulation.
