Emotional regulation self help book

That is the job The Participation Effect is trying to do.

Straight answers
Is this about emotional control or emotional awareness?
It starts with awareness. The book argues that clarity comes from noticing the state you are in, then making a better next move from there.
Does it help with stress and uncertainty too?
Yes. Emotional regulation is not treated as a silo. The framework is explicitly tied to stress, pressure, uncertainty, and the way those states affect judgment.
