Description

1

Describe a recent situation where you felt a strong emotion. What was the emotion? How did you experience it in your body?

2

Reflect on the origins of your emotional response in the previous situation. Are there past experiences or beliefs that may have influenced your reaction?

3

Explore the thoughts and beliefs associated with the emotion. Are these thoughts helpful or realistic? How might you reframe them to be more constructive?

4

Consider how you typically cope with strong emotions. Are these coping strategies effective? If not, what alternative strategies could you try?

5

Think about a relationship where you often experience challenging emotions. How might you apply PEEFT principles to improve communication and understanding in that relationship?

6

Reflect on a time when you struggled to express your emotions. What barriers or fears prevented you from expressing yourself? How can you overcome these barriers in the future?
