Re: Re: Feelings and Emotions: The Essay, Part Four, Appropriate Expression
by Al Turtle
Dear Friend, I am not clear what you want me to write more about, but assuming that you want more on this topic (Appropriate Expressions) I can share a little. I find this subject so important that I believe no paper, book or workshop could come close doing it justice - even 5% justice. I believe I am talking about learning to a) feel and appreciate all emotions so that life is a wonderful experience and at the same time b) managing their expression so as not to be destructive or dysfunctionally dysruptive. This is a topic for much personal, guided work for some of us. It is also a topic for our friends/partners to firmly help us put a lid on "over-expression." I spent over a decade in my life learning appropriate expression using Orgone Therapy. Every minute of it, every dollar I spent on it was worth it. I also studied with John Lee, author of Facing the Fire and Flying Boy. I am sure there are many more books that are wondeful. Unfortunately there is also a lot of emotion-negative trash out there, too. Good luck. The topic can be looked at from many levels: personal, relationship, family, social, and even anthropologically. If you have a specific question, I'd love to hear it. Thanks for the encouragement.
