Stress, Feelings, & General Unhappiness
This Is For All Human Beings
Are you looking for stress life coaching in Tucson AZ? Whenever we are stressed or unhappy, it has to do with feelings, usually of anger, hurt, sadness, fear, disappointment, etc. In order to maintain balanced emotional health, we must do as Dr. Gabe Mate writes. This is the work for all human beings, regardless of however bad or slight you think your symptoms are.
Dr Gabe Mate states that emotional competence requires
- the capacity to feel our emotions, so that we are aware when we are experiencing stress;
- the ability to express our emotions effectively and thereby to assert our needs and to maintain the integrity of our emotional boundaries;
- the facility to distinguish between psychological reactions that are pertinent to the present situation and those that represent residue from the past. What we want and demand from the world needs to conform to our present needs, not to unconscious, unsatisfied needs from childhood. If distinctions between past and present blur, we will perceive loss or the threat of loss where none exists; and
- the awareness of those genuine needs that do require satisfaction, rather than their repression for the sake of gaining the acceptance or approval of others.
