We've talked about expressing factual information and also expressing ideas and how to do it effectively. Now coming up next is emotions, and I somehow feel that emotions aren't as easy to express effectively. >> Yeah, because when we are doing course like this, we're making an assumption that we ourselves will challenge. That is, we're making this assumption that's obviously not valid. We assume that people will behave rationally. And if you take a course like this on relationship, then you'll be following the principles, and the rules, and doing it in your real life. I would say most people probably won't be able to do that. When we are in the situation when we have to express or communicate emotions, Well, the first things is that we become emotional. When we become emotional, it almost doesn't really make sense for us to say that you should do this or you shouldn't do that. So for us to really be in the position where we can feel better about ourselves, and be able to be who we are emotionally, and then express ourselves emotionally, I wouldn't say that even in an appropriate way, but in a way that we feel comfortable with, a way that we like, we have to recognize, the expression of emotion itself, it's not always and cannot be always rational [LAUGH]. >> Mm-hm. >> That is the basic principle. When we do that, the most important thing is, when we're expressing emotions, unlike expressing ideas or facts, we are not only trying to communicate something to the other person, we are also dealing with our internal state. Usually when we express emotions, the very act of expressing emotion, itself, will change the emotion that we expressing. Say for example, I'm expressing anger to you. I have the opportunity to let all this anger out, and I find that you're not reacting with anger and aggression, but you're more accommodating and understanding. Then I'll feel less angry, right? But if I'm expressing jealousy and then you are telling me more things [LAUGH] about how wonderful your life is and all that. [LAUGH] That will make me more jealous [LAUGH], right? So the expression and feedback that we’ve got will immediately feed into the emotional experience that we have. I think there are a couple of key concepts that we have in SSLD, One of course, is a simple mechanism of emotional regulation which deals with the current emotion that we're experiencing. And the other one we will call it emotional work, which is a more elaborate process in which we try to get understanding of our own emotional experience and deal with some of this difficult emotions that might even have a long history. It can be childhood trauma. It can be some unfinished emotional business or emotional baggages that we have been carrying in our life for a long period of time.
