Jon,
Thanks for your comment. Yes, living the full spectrum of life means that we will experience a full range of emotions, sometimes within an hour!
What matters is extracting the value and meaning from emotions that feel particularly important.
Glad you stopped by,
Louise

Hi Ronnie,
Wonderful suggestion. I love the idea of working with visuals to communicate with emotions. For some, with the auditory as their primary
channel for sensory processing, it might be working with sound.

Yes, it all comes down to patience, which many of us resist – it’s important to understand the voices that compel us to keep moving.

Thanks for your comment, insightful as always.

Louise

Another wonderful post, Louise. Lots of helpful ideas for tipping our resilience points. It’s so frustrating knowing that what is happening isn’t even connected to reality sometimes and yet the amygdala kicks in to “help”. Your explanation of the timing is a good one. Thank you.

One thing that works for me is drawing pictures of the positive outcomes that the fear is telling me not to believe. (Even stick figures with smiling faces works. I add success words too.) I sit and picture myself in them. It’s helped me overcome some whopper triggered reactions. Not sure anyone else would find that useful, but thought I’d share. Oh, and as you mention, patience is key.

I totally agree; emotions can go both ways: you can have good ones and bad. It’s how you handle them that matters the most. Great post and I look forward to sharing more with you;)

Madelyn, Yes! pleased to “meet” you as well.

Who ever imagined that neuroscience would play such a critical role in us discovering ourselves?

All the best.
Louise

Hi Louise – Now that I know you exist (isn’t Zemanta a blessing?), I most certainly WILL be back. btw- whenever you post something that relates to anything on my blog, feel free to post a link in the comments section – which I will approve as soon as I see it (although, supposedly, once I have approved you once, you’re not *supposed* to end up in the spam queue). I will also backlink as soon as I am able, since many of my readers tend to bail before they read any comments.

Thanks for checking me out. I agree about the importance of Rock’s ideas – along with your wish that he would write more from that viewpoint. I position the way I work with ADD and ADDers as “learning to drive the brain you were born with” – so we are on the same page about the importance of understanding our “operating systems” as powerful healing tools.

There is SO much that the research published by the neuro-dudes in the last five years has to teach all of us – as long as we are willing to do the work to provide the bridge. That is why I was so pleased with your condensation of Rock’s work. More than merely “Cliff Notes,” your article illuminates the importance of understanding what he is saying and applying it to the work we have, individually, taken on. REALLY love this post.

Pleased to “meet” you.
