- Broad labels like "anxiety", "bad", or "overwhelm" trigger reaction without insight. Getting specific defuses intensity.
- Subtle differentiations - anger at injustice vs. insecurity - point to tailored responses. We solve root causes, not just symptoms.
- Noticing gradations - disappointment to rage - helps regulate so we don't drown in global distress that feels infinite. We parse waves.
- Over time we recognize even unpleasant emotions have origins and needs attached. They guide us somewhere when listened to.
- As we patiently build vocabulary for wounds, fears, longings and joys, we extract meaning from symptoms. Our experiences become coherent.
- The richer our language around felt senses, the less Often we fall into assumption, projection and acting out. Self-awareness deepens connection.
