Getting on the move

Chaos gets organised by responding to feedback. That is why the Emotional Logic toolkit contains card-sorting and worksheets designed to see emotional patterns. There is no other method around like it.

The feedback can happen even without words. Handling the cards gives you a sense of influence over your inner emotional world, and engagement with it. You are no longer a victim of your emotions, but you gain the power of choice over which ones you'll stay with, and which one's you'll move on from.

[Background info! Emotions are processed in the core of the brain, activated from memories and the sense inputs that arrive from the back half of the brain. Action planning is organised in the front part of the brain. Organising muscle actions there feeds-back to also organise your emotions! SO... when you handle cards on which the names of emotions are written, you sort them into a pattern that feels right for this or that situation, and you are actually handling your inner emotional states. Yes, you do learn to experience your emotions in a safe way that YOU CAN INFLUENCE. That's worth learning!]
