Psychology: Understanding and Changing Emotions

Developing emotional intelligence and self-awareness

Description

Emotional competence is one of the crucial skills in dealing with "negative" emotions, stress, and lack of self-esteem.

This course provides you with strategies to recognize your "negative" feelings early, change them, and reduce them permanently.

And perhaps you have heard or thought the following statements before: Unpleasant emotions are bad and must be resolved. People should listen more to their feelings because they contain a deeper truth. Emotions are something that is controlled by our subconscious, which we either cannot control or which must be until we have completed our task through them.

However, these are all half-truths that are often misunderstood. In fact, "negative" emotions and feelings say something. And if we understand their message, we can use our emotions to create a more pleasant life.

A life that is more oriented towards our deeper needs, unbound by performance pressure or similar social constructs.

In this course, you will learn to further develop your emotional competence - because what is important to us, we have usually never really learned, neither from our family environment, nor at school, nor from society as a whole.

Society usually defines us only by our performance, its certification, and the resulting recognition. And in some contexts, such as work, this can be important. But when it comes to us as people, it's about more than that. In this course, you will learn:

  • What emotions are and why they are so important.
  • How emotions control our behavior - for better or worse.
  • What needs lie behind our emotions - both pleasant and unpleasant.
  • How to recognize your true needs and distinguish them from those that society imposes on you.
  • How to recognize and reduce unhealthy emotions.
  • How to foster healthy emotions.
  • How to experience less stress.
  • How to purposefully regulate your emotions and break out of negative spirals.
  • How to live more according to your needs and experience more well-being.
