You have to really understand what's going on in your mental state.
And so even things like...
like sharing your feelings and all the things, the scientific research on how opening up, whether it's to a therapist or writing it down in a journal, that is extremely therapeutic for us.
It helps us process our feelings.
It helps us feel better.
In order to do that well, you have to have insight into your psychological state.
And when I started doing this, and this is why, again, I'm telling you I was a guinea pig because
if like I'm a recovering emotional illiterate because I went, when my therapist, I was, I don't know, I was fetching about something and he's like, well, how do you feel?
And I was saying cognitions.
You know, like I feel trapped or whatever.
I feel like this doesn't make sense.
He's like, those are thoughts, a feeling.
I'm like, then I literally asked him, what is a feeling?
Like, PhD, what is a feeling?
And then he handed me this thing called an emotions wheel, which I printed a version of that in the book, which I found so helpful, which helps you to really figure out what you're feeling.
And if you start with a really core feeling, right?
So for example, the way the wheel works is you start off with, you just ask yourself, the version I have in my book is like super, for me, emotional illiterate.
So it starts off with a very simple question, like thumbs up, thumbs down.
Positive, negative.
Okay, I got that.
