Hi,
I enjoyed your comments. I have been working in the field of EI for about ten years now and what you have written reflects an intuitive approach to managing emotions. I have tried to find ways to help people to improve how they deal with any situation involving strong emotions by introducing them to my Emotion Roadmap. This roadmap construct represents a metaphor, that is, if I am in Texas and wish to get to Connecticut, how will I get there? If I am feeling overwhelmed and wish to feel in control and satisfied how will I get there? What you have written about intuitively is what I teach people to do.
The emotional experience you have written about is personal and about you. The roadmap can also be used for improving a situation involving feelings with another person or with an entire organization. It can be used to react to an existing difficult situation or proactively when a change that is about to take place is going to have an adverse emotional reaction in the people who are going to be impacted.
If you are interested in learning more about the Emotion Roadmap I will refer you to my website www.cjwolfe.com and from there you can also see my blog.
Warm regards,
Chuck Wolfe
