As a student in the Counseling program, the
type of studies talked about in this article is awe-inspiring for me. I am a
verbal person. I’ve always vented to friends and talked about my emotions
while, of course, offering a good balance of listening time enabling them to do
the same. It does make me feel better and I’m sure from my years of “being a
shoulder to cry on” my friends feel the same way.
Keeping emotions bottled up inside only causes blockage, which will eventually manifest into health issues. If you do not have
someone to lean on, pull out a journal and write down your feelings. It has a
similar affect!
If you’re someone who has trouble labeling
your feelings and putting them into words, take a look at Wikipedia.org for
their definition below:
“Emotion
or Passion: An affective state of consciousness, often accompanied by
physiological changes, (as joy, sorrow, fear, and hate), to be distinguished
from cognitive (knowledge and perception) and volitional (willing and
intending) states of consciousness [Dictionary definition]. According to
Cognitive Theories of Emotions, an emotion can have a cognitive component, a
judgment. Such cognitive theories go back to Aristotle and the Stoics. Emotion not to be confused with a
bodily appetite, as hunger or thirst. Mood: A disposition to acquire
certain emotional states of mind in certain situations. For instance,
depression is a mood that weakens one's ability to easily become elated or sad.”
