 It is important to be aware of the
following:
 Whatever the emotions are, they are normal and useful.

 They come and go. All emotions pass in time; this is their
nature.

 Never be afraid or ashamed of your emotions. Things will

change and you can move on if you so choose.

 It is extremely important to wait before reacting: emotional

intensity reduces over time and you should not act “on the
emotion”.

 First recognize it, acknowledge it (no denial), accept and

express it (no repression). Any uncomfortable feeling is
related to an unmet need. Accept it without trying to analyze
it initially, then try to relate it to the unmet basic need. Then
finally express the underlying request which is at the root of
the emotion.
