Feelings Identification
Feelings Identification
The process of understanding the different emotions we and others experience throughout the day. There is a spectrum of emotions ranging from joy and excitement, sadness, anger and fear, to name a few. Decoding and investigating our emotions helps us to better understand what may have triggered that emotion(s) as well as how that emotion feels within our bodies. We have unique emotional experiences and what might cause one person to feel happy might not be the same experience for another.
