Introduction of Emotion
What are Emotions? How Do We Define Emotions?
The definition of emotion is subjective. Emotions are strong feelings, which cause changes in human personality physically and psychologically. Emotions influence human thoughts and behaviours.
Emotions express a relatively high intense state. It generates such responses that become our experiences and become part of our personality. So, emotions can be a conscious and intense experience. Right from the age when one can comprehend things, certain impressions, experiences, and acts of others, and our own experiences cause emotional expression known as innate emotions like anger, sadness, disgust and joy. Our Emotional reflections on specific situations or events are broadened by these by birth impressions or experience.
The quality of emotions is formed by our Individual Experiences, Family backgrounds, Cultures i.e. Social background depends on several factors such as family background, social background, cultures, and personal experiences. That’s why different people may have a different emotional experience in similar circumstances.
Emotions play an adaptive role in human personality and cause us to respond quickly to the stimuli in the environment. Emotions affect our thoughts, behaviours, motivation, learning, and communication with others.

In most of the cases, we kept our emotional issues confidential as it is rare to find a companion who can understand our emotional state. So with the time, the emotional issues become chronicle and it stays in our heart as emotional blockage.
When certain situations under the compatibility with our emotional issue, it causes to activate our emotional blockage which reflects in the form of physical arousal, excessive fear, anger, anxiety, and cut off from social life
The activation of emotional blockages are reflected in sudden situation which could not be predicted, and our mind is not ready for it. Then, our mind tries to avoid these situations but creates a huge emotional pain. Primarily, it generates following response of an individual –
- Bitterness – reflects your judgement on others and yourself.
- Resentment – reflects at which situation of past you are still living in.

- Shame – reflects that you are internalizing other people’s beliefs about who you should be (or who you are) and that you need to reconnect with yourself.
To heal an emotional blockage, we recommend to consult with a therapist or expert but it never meant that we should not try to come out from our emotional blockage by ourselves. If we understand our emotional problem in right paradigm, then we can start the process of healing it and responding to these issues in correct order.
We do require a therapist or a consultant if the problem is too complicated because for complex emotional impression, we do need someone who can listen us and walk through with us and understand our emotional problem.
In general, the first level of blockage treatment is focused on both cognitive and emotional level because by healing these two dimensions, the Behavioral aspect will be healed automatically. Behavioral works is sometime very necessary to speed up the recovery process.
