Emotional Management

Humans are emotional beings. We have the ability to accept and give love, feel anger and fear, experience shame, guilt, and humiliation, transform with joy, pride, and elation, and so much more. Our ability to be emotional sets us apart from other living beings in the world. And it’s our emotional responses to stimuli in our world can either bring out the best or the worst in us.

Emotional management, also known as emotion-focused therapy, is a type of therapy that helps people better understand, accept, regulate, and express emotion. Doing so helps to develop more positive and constructive ways of responding to good and bad stimuli in our world.

In emotional management, students of this therapy work with a therapist collaboratively in a reflective, non-judgmental environment. The therapist serves as an “emotional coach” to help to increase awareness of how layers of emotions impact self, develop acceptance of your responses to emotions, and find ways to alter your responses and ways of thinking about emotions to better lead a meaningful, healthy life.
