A simple and profoundly helpful tool in my work of facilitating clients' growth and transformation is to help them to name 6 big emotions. The simple tool of learning to name what emotions you are experiencing is a necessary step if you want to transform them (e.g. your own, your children, or spouse’s emotions) into your allies, instead of having them remain as your enemies. This practice is called, “Name it to Tame it”. “Name it to Tame it” is the phrase coined by Daniel Siegel, a psychiatrist and the key leader in the field of Interpersonal Neurobiology, to highlight the necessity of naming one’s emotion in promoting one’s mental health.
