Emotions, relationships, moods, desires are the most important part of a person’s mental life, and the development of the emotional sphere of a person must be given no less attention than the development of intelligence, health, physical strength and other personal resources.
Direction and ideal of emotional development
What is emotionally rich? Jumping from one emotion to another? Or a person who gives birth and experiences emotions that motivate him to actions that enrich his life? See Direction and ideal of emotional development, and Development of emotionality.
Development of the emotional sphere and personality types
The more I work with people, the more I am convinced that there are no single recipes. The development of the emotional sphere is a task that is relevant for everyone, but the direction of this development will be completely different depending on the type of personality. Each personality type has its own tasks, and talking about the development of the emotional sphere should be as specific as possible. Recommendations that are fair and vital for one type of personality may be inadequate and simply harmful for another type. We are different. Let’s take this into account. See →
Children learn how to communicate their emotional state through the body
A student of the University of Practical Psychology writes: “When I learned to adjust in communication, my pupil Varvara, seven and a half years old, and her relatives became a partner. We worked out different types of adjustments. My goal was to show the child how important it is to see, hear and feel their interlocutors. Be able to notice the emotional state, adjusting to the body, by voice. I treated many tasks creatively, making them in the form of interesting game exercises. To work out body adjustments, I came up with a game: “Mood Sculptor”. We froze in turn, in whatever position, but always with the transfer of the emotional state. For example: the winner is awarded a medal. He stands on a pedestal and his whole body conveys joy, happiness. Or a girl in a winter forest, she is cold, scared. The child assumes a pose and describes her inner state, which she feels at the same time: tension, relaxation, lightness in the body, heaviness, closeness — openness. For the girl, it was an amazing discovery that the body can transmit an internal state.
