Emotions are direct experiences accompanying individual vital influences and prompting a person to eliminate or preserve them. Observing the manifestations of emotions in people, you can find out how they evaluate a particular life event: whether they are happy or upset. Emotional restraint makes it difficult to understand, and, consequently, to communicate with other people.
It is necessary
- - tests to determine the level of development of emotional reactions;
- - illustrations depicting the emotional states of people;
- - paints and sheets of paper for drawing.
Instructions
Step 1
Teach the person to recognize emotions. To do this, show some illustrations of people experiencing different emotional states. Name them. Often a person not only does not show emotions himself, but also does not know how they manifest themselves in other people, as they are called.
Step 2
Ask a reserved person, based on the knowledge gained, to name those emotions that he himself often experiences, even if he does not show them among other people. If these emotions are unpleasant to him, they still need to be named. So a holistic view of the emotional world of a person is formed.
Step 3
Offer to express your emotional state with paint or music, poetry or facial expressions. Find out by what means he expresses his emotions at home.
Step 4
Explain that holding on to emotions, especially negative ones, is the path to body disease. any irritation begins to destroy a person from the inside. Sometimes it can be helpful to “throw out” an emotion, break an old plate, slam the door, or allow yourself to scream loudly.
Step 5
Observe the reserved person, mark in his speech the slips that may reflect his true desires. More often than not, when instructing people to their reservation, you can see an uncontrollable outburst of emotion. But he will only indicate that the person is angry with himself, because I failed to hide my personal relationship to someone and it accidentally burst out.
Step 6
Find out how parents and other relatives in the family feel about expressing emotional states. If people close to you do not allow him to show emotions, limit or even punish him for loud laughter or tears, look together for other ways of expressing yourself. You can suggest finding other places where this person will be accepted by anyone.
Step 7
Conduct a diagnosis to determine emotional coldness or the degree of emotional infantility, immaturity or underdevelopment of emotional reactions. Based on the test results, outline a development plan for the area in which the lowest score was obtained.
Step 8
Determine what the person enjoys the most. Advise you to do your favorite things more often, meet interesting people, attend events where this person feels free and independent.
