Emotional Logic Truro Workshop Feedback!

On the 8th March we ran an in-person day workshop in Truro, Cornwall, Uk. This day was open to anyone, and was provided at a very low cost (just covering costs) to make it as accessible as possible. The workshop aimed to support people with healthy emotional communication and provide practical tools to navigate life’s tricky times and challenges!

It was a great success and here are some quotes to explain further how this can positively impact lives:

Question: What have you learned to help in life?

– There are emotions behind the main emotion.
– Looking at the impact of my emotions to unstick me.
– Stages of loss, how they impact and whirlpools as well as strategies that may help to get out of whirlpools/next step.
– To deal with emotions in a different way and understand why I put a certain emotion first
– How to use cards and bargaining when in a ‘wilderness’ period
– Assertive bargaining as this will help me to get back what I have lost in a sensitive thoughtful manner- everyone gains
– Understanding the purpose of each emotion- eye-opening!
– To be brave.
– To continue to try to be more assertive and aware of my emotions at the time.
– Stepping ‘Stones’ to progress from a trauma or loss
– That emotional logic will fit in very well with person-centred counselling which I am training in.
– A better understanding of emotions and their impact. Anger is a fuel for change.
– To help have some more concrete ways of identifying what I am feeling and where I am at in the grieving process when dealing with loss.

Question: What might help in relationships?

Forgiveness ins a part of acceptance. It will help me in mending broken relationships.

– I think understanding where others might be in a process, and be more able to help others take the next step

– Assertive Bargaining methods

– To be more aware of body signals that might inadvertently reveal undesired emotions.

– Deeper understanding of emotions as a physical preparation state for action/withdrawal On social settings I do not have full understanding of how I come across as when starting to get upset/excited

– I thought about specific students I work with that could benefit from this

– Alone Time

– That people feel different emotions

– Listen! Using Emotional Logic/

– Not to be so passive! And whirlpools

– Stepping stones

– That to endure is assertive

– Breaking it down and taking one SMART action at a time

– Listening more and not talking all the time learning curve but will help in my personal and professional relationships as people will feel valued.

– More use of assertive bargaining

– That I sometimes use aggressive bargaining!

– How to go about it in a more positive way on how I deal with my own emotions + understand how to help people with their own.

– Being more assertive in negotiating less emotionally/passively and more ‘middle ground’

– Listen
