Technique for working with negative emotions
Emotions are only a part of us. The problem for many is that they do not separate themselves and the emotions that run through them.
Here are two examples:
Example No. 1.:- "I feel bad", "I have cats scratching in my soul."
Example # 2: - "I feel a certain emotion (anger, fear, annoyance, frustration), a negative emotion, and if I don't want it to make me depressed, I need to do something about it."
What to do about it?
One of our defense mechanisms is the repression of negative emotions.
This is not entirely correct, or rather not at all correct, because instead of repressing it, we are burying it (emotion) inside ourselves.
In order for the emotion to really squeeze out, let it "burn out" and pass.
How to do it?
If you feel that: "cats are scratching", or fear, increased anxiety, anger, irritation, sit down and actualize the emotion.
For example, I have "cats in my soul scratching" because the boss at work told me a couple of unpleasant phrases that hurt me. (Pause 5-7 seconds for awareness), then explain to yourself what phrases touched you and why?
This is the process of actualizing emotions, you dug it out of yourself and let it burn out, after which the emotion fades away.
