- CLINICAL PROBLEM
Emotional Dysregulation Under Stress
Across clinical and operational settings, Dr. Sohn repeatedly observed a consistent problem: individuals often understand their challenges intellectually, yet still lose control under stress. Anxiety, panic, anger, and emotional shutdown emerge not from lack of insight, but from nervous systems that become overwhelmed in real time.
Much of his work focuses on emotional dysregulation driven by heightened physiological arousal-situations where traditional insight-based approaches are insufficient.
- PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
Clinical Work in High-Stakes Environments
Dr. Sohn’s expertise was shaped in environments where emotional regulation directly affects performance, safety, and decision-making. From April 2016 through July 2023, he served as the Command Psychologist for U.S. Special Operations Command–Korea (SOCKOR), providing psychological and neuropsychological services within a military operational context.
In addition to military service, his experience includes private practice in California and Texas, leadership roles in community mental health organizations, and work as a school-based psychologist. These roles reinforced the importance of methods that remain effective under pressure, uncertainty, and sustained stress.
