BLUF

Living with someone who is frequently moody creates long term emotional strain, fosters unpredictability and resentment, and can normalize unhealthy emotional responses fuelled by factors like stress, health conditions, or coercive control.

Learning Outcomes:

  • Recognise how emotional volatility within a household can degrade morale, trust, and cohesion among Defence members and their families.
  • Apply emotional intelligence and communication to support individuals displaying mood dysregulation and mitigate its impact on team dynamics.
  • Use boundary-setting and self-awareness to maintain resilience and operational effectiveness under emotional stressors drawn from personal life
