Name It To Tame It :: 6 Big Emotions + Trauma

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.
