FridayFacts: Healthy Perspectives on Emotion

 FridayFacts

 
This week's FridayFacts focus on some myth-busting about feelings and emotions. 
 
We work with many people in psychotherapy, counselling, in support groups, training and in other capacities who have come to believe (for many reasons) that feelings and emotions are 'bad', a sign of 'weakness', 'too much', 'something to be avoided', and that will 'last forever', amongst many other things.
 
My team and I also work on emotional regulation, tolerating distress and uncomfortable feelings with many clients attending therapy. This work can be very powerful, especially if they believe that feelings and emotions are 'bad' or 'intolerable'. Learning more about what feelings, emotions and moods are is really important and useful and can have a really good impact on our perception of what feelings and emotions are and on our mental and emotional wellbeing generally.
 
The poster below provides some 'facts' and 'myth-busting'. Hope you find the poster useful.
Have a good weekend and feel free to browse our website or get in touch via email if you wish. 
 
All the best, 
 
Alexandra
