A Secret Final Draft : Bottling Up Feelings And Emotions Are Quite Difficult For The Average Person

Emotional congruence with children is defined as the emotional affiliation with childhood. In other words you could look at this concept as suggesting that adults feel more comfortable around children rather then adults. This concept is becoming increasingly important in the CSO risk assessment because there is single profile that accurately describes or accounts for why child molesters do what they do. Emotional congruence also helps predict re-offendings of individuals who are released back into the

In order to direct one’s thinking they need negative emotions. The article “Happiness: Enough Already” declares that, “Studies show that when you are in a negative mood,” says Diener, “you become more analytical, more critical and more innovative” (Begley 456). Which proves that the happier one is the more absent minded they are; whereas when one is negative one is more likely to think before doing. According to “Don’t Worry, Be Gloomy” it states, “When we’re overly cheerful, we tend to neglect important threats and dangers” (David 124). There is something called being “too happy” meaning one experiences extreme levels of happiness and when one has these extreme levels that person tends to take riskier actions that would harm themselves or others. As the article continues it states, “Our so-called negative emotions encourage slower, more systematic cognitive processing” (David 124). Meaning that one would acknowledge and recall the more important details instead of following the interpretations and judgments of a situation from others. Therefore, the negative emotions actually help people get through their situations or life in general.

Sadness, fear, and anger are emotions that many people view as strictly negative. Society assumes these emotions’ only purpose is to damage people’s lives, and because these emotions are viewed as harmful, many people try to avoid them. However, these emotions are not given the credit they deserve. People encourage others to be optimistic and positive, but human beings are not supposed to be always happy. Negative emotions are surprisingly significant because they offer many benefits that positive emotions do not, but positive emotions are necessary as well. People’s lives are supposed to have a balance of each emotion in order to stay mentally and physically healthy. Even though people attempt to be happy all the time, they should accept

Dance is the beginning of the unit and therefore serves as an introduction to mental and emotions.

Feelings about a situation can have a large impact on difficult conversations because they can make one less likely to listen effectively. Also, something I never considered, they can influence self-esteem. With a damaged self-esteem, other people cannot learn from their mistakes and the relationship is damaged (Stone, Patton, Heen 2010). I find myself needed to learn from this chapter especially. I tend to hide my feelings to avoid conflict. Yes, this has reduced my number of difficult conversations, but it has not increased my happiness. I can even see how it ruined a past relationship. The relationship needed to end, but I never voiced my hurt or annoyance from the actions of my significant other. This, ultimately, contributed to the end of that relationship because I was not happy, and I was not making sure my feelings were

Pt. attended AMS Central Therapy sessions on the above. The Topic was “Are Your Emotions and Behaviors Helping you or hurting you?” Pt. reported that an extremely stressful event that happened recently was getting into an argument with his girlfriend. Pt. commented that he felt angry, guilty and depressed about this problem. Pt. stated that what he did was overreacting to control the situation. Pt. stated, “I said really mean things and I acted very passive aggressive.” Pt. mentioned that his behaviors did not help him in the short-term because he failed to use better communication skills. Pt. said that thinking about how much he loves her did help him think clearly and deal with the upsetting event. Pt. reported that he still working on the

In Why Letting Yourself Feel Broken is The Key Grayczyk, reveals that through a difficult time she kept telling herself that she was fine. “If you tell a lie enough times, you start to believe it yourself” says Grayczyk, as she herself wanted to believe her own thoughts. Many want to convince themselves that nothing in their life is falling apart, everything is where it is suppose to be. Later in Grayczyk’s article she states that her secret is “´It's okay not to be okay´”. One does not necessarily have to meet the standards of society, it is okay for one to roam freely from others advice. Pretending to feel something may lead to self emotional destruction. One may not be able to pass through the phase of accepting what happened and moving on. As much as one tries to hide bravery through other emotions, one will still encounter an upsetting feeling. One can repeat to oneself that one may not care but can not become successful in believing oneself. Yes, after a bitter experience one will not feel happy, it will all take time and when one is ready to say “I am okay” it will be the “... honest to god Okay, not the shitty plastic Okay you had been using before that only worked half the time and kept cracking along the edges” (Reya

Lunsford, Ruszkiewicz and Walters (2016)... Chapter two of our textbook showcases how powerful emotions are in human beings and how they can be used in everyday life for arguments. Chapter two of our textbook begins by explaining to the reader how to identify and read for Pathos by using an example of Senator Marco Rubio’s speech on repression in Venezuela. Senator Rubio’s example flows perfectly into the next section of chapter two where the textbook explains how we can use Pathos to “feel the pain” of the group you are trying to connect to. Lastly, the textbook introduces its most important point for using Pathos to sustain an argument: when passionately fighting for change: use common human terms; you may be vastly more successful than using

The hidden thoughts and feelings that we lock away are what prevent us from being satisfied with ourselves. Years down the road, you may wish that you had been honest about how you detest your mother’s meatloaf, or what really happened to Felix the cat. As a Clinical Mental Health Counselor, not only will I observe the hidden feelings of my clients, but I will provide an open, judgement-free environment where they can feel safe to

In You Are Now Less Dumb by David McRaney, the author introduces a topic of “catharsis,” the process of which is expressing bottled-up emotion in order to relieve someone from stress and tension. In short, catharsis is when someone vents their anger, making them feel better. In order to counter Plato’s argument where “poetry and drama filled people up with silliness and made them unbalanced,” (McRaney 121), Aristotle believed that as the audience, they are able to release the emotion while watching drama through tears or yelling. Aristotle referred to this notion as kathariein, meaning “to purify” and “to clean,” in that any built-up feelings within someone can be released through getting rid of them, allowing for a more positive feeling. Oedipus,

Hochschild’s discussion of feelings allows us to understand how our feeling provides us with the bearings and guidance we need to reach a sense of both subjectivity and objectivity. The next question is: what do we do with this knowledge? According to Hochschild, we need to manage our feeling, either by surface or deep acting, in order to manage our display of feeling in the world. Hochschild (2003, p. 35) is convinced that all of us do a certain amount of acting, that self is performed. In understanding how surface and deep acting is accomplished, and in explaining its connection to emotion, Hochschild used the work of Stanislavski (1965), who is known as the father of ‘method acting’.

As you are probably wondering my reasoning for crying, I’m trying my best not to start with my fit again because of the thoughts I must think to write this down. I have what most would call ‘self-image issues’. They started my 5th grade year. They have done nothing but progressed and now this is where I am: spending my time on my bathroom floor crying, writing in this book about my issues. I was bullied, physically and verbally, neglected, lied and cheated on… I’m not too sure the reasoning. I have always been the best person that I possibly could be to everyone that I come in contact with. People took advantage of my kindness, but I didn’t mind it because everyone needs favors and love.

Maybe being emotional about a problem, in a way that others might recognize, makes the given problem easier to cope with, because you in turn do not also have to cope with the problem that you do not understand. If you carry with you an aura of dread and despair, will people not recognize these emotions in you? You might not acknowledge so yourself, but part of the problem in concealing sorrow arises from the fact that everyone else carries on the way they did before. Life goes

In the confinements of my mind, I deny my feelings. It’s a coping strategy that I mistakenly think is healthy and is the right thing to do. At the age of 22 I’m starting to feel the effects of abandoning my emotions. I’m scared to express how I am feeling without others judging me. I find myself wondering exactly when I outgrew emotional bravery. Maybe it got lost somewhere in junior high amidst social anxieties and trying to fit in. I’ve adjusted my expectations, avoiding the hard, the difference, and the vulnerable. I’ve learned tricks that closes the gap

Today I got an assignment about an issue that touches us deeply and frequently in our day to day life. It is about dealing with emotions.
