Re: Re: Feelings and Emotions: The Essay, Part One
by
Al Turtle
Dear Friend,
You are quite right. I did not write that fourth article on Feelings and Emotions. I know what is in it; in fact, I taught that material two days ago to a couple.
I originally posted all these articles, wondering if anyone would read them. By leaving a part blank, I hoped to check this out. You, believe it or not, are the first person in two years who asked for the material. Thanks for writing me and I will work on it.
I actually held up writing this last article for two reasons. 1)It would advocate "expressing" emotions safely and I have found the material easy for people to use inappropriately. I think at this time, I have enough experience and am ready to write it. Give me a bit of time.
In the meantime as resources to look at you might consider an out of print book called Facing the Fire by John Lee.
http://www.amazon.com/Facing-Fire-Experiencing-Expressing-Appropriately/dp/0553372408.
Also, my personal, in depth and original resources will be the works of Wilhelm Reich, student of Sigmund Freud, and anybody who has studied Orgonne Therapy. I spent 12 years (1982-1994) both in Orgonne Therapy and studying it - learning appropriate expression of emotions.
Personally I think a background in engineering is a wonderful resource for approaching psychology. My background was math, physics and electronic technology. Thus I look at human behavior (relationship or individual) from the point of view of seeking good models to make understanding easy and predictable. I think that Engineering is all about building and teaching mental models in order to develop applied practical techniques. A really great resouce is The Art of Awareness by J Samuel Bois.
