emotional balance
Stable feeling state
Emotional balance is a state of psychological equilibrium—neither overwhelmed by feelings nor suppressing them.
Someone with emotional balance can experience strong emotions without being controlled by them: She maintained her emotional balance even during the crisis.
The term implies steadiness and resilience rather than the absence of emotion.
