Description
In today's episode we talk about feelings and emotions. As therapists we always encourage our clients to express their feelings and emotions. We discuss why it matters to get in touch with your feelings and emotions. Our emotions represent our lived experience and they are personal to us. Getting in touch with our feelings and emotional reactions will provide us with information about how we relate to the world and interact with others. We often distinguish between 'positive' and 'negative' emotions and often struggle to express the former. Our emotional responses are learned and therefore they can also be reviewed and changed if necessary.We talk about interoception: our ability to consciously or unconsciously sense, access and identify physiological and emotional signals that come from within us. The more awareness we have about our internal state, the more able we are to emotionally regulate effectively. With a strong sense of interoception we can more readily identify our emotions and respond appropriately to signals for example of (perceived) danger.We discuss approaches to managing challenging feeling and emotions more effectively so that you don't get overrun or controlled by your internal sensations.The Relationship Maze courses:What is your argument style?
