We organised an emotional regulation workshop in collaboration with Accueil Singapour. Our aim was to aid individuals in understanding and managing their emotions effectively for personal and professional well-being.
Key Takeaways:
-
1. Explored the origins of emotions using R. Plutchik’s “Wheel of Emotions.”
-
2. Discussed techniques for identifying emotions and understanding influencing factors.
-
3. Uncovered deeper emotions behind outward expressions.
-
4. Introduced simple strategies for regulating emotions.
-
5. Participants favoured the “6-second pause” technique and journaling.
Engaging in discussions, conducting the workshop in French, and promoting emotional expression were truly fulfilling endeavors. Expressing emotions facilitates better understanding and recognition, making emotional balance more attainable.
