I don’t know if you’ve already made one, but can you make a meditation or a video with tips on handling strong emotions or emotional deregulation?

Hi Jude, new subscriber here thankful for your intro to Buddhism video! I am currently in 20 years old in school studying psychology, while also doing my yoga and meditation practices. I have been experiencing a dilemma where I am struggling to narrow down my career path in terms of intertwining the world of psychology with the unexplainable world of meditation. If you wouldn't mind sharing, what exactly do you do as a therapist? Does it also include meditation?
