People withpost-traumatic stress disorder(PTSD)有时可能会经历他们的情绪,这是不愉快的,不可预测和无法控制的。然而,我们的情绪是我们生活的必要部分。它们服务非常重要的功能,我们将无法在没有它们的情况下得到每一天。

Do you know some of the very important functions that emotions play in our lives? The information that follows outline why emotions, even when uncomfortable, are critical.

Emotions Communicate Information to Other People

Our emotions tell other people how we are feeling. For example, the expression of anger may tell someone that we should be left alone or anxiety and sadness may tell someone that we need help. As a result, it's important that we feel our feelings rather than avoid upsetting emotions.

Emotions Provide Us with Information

Emotions give us information about our environment. For example, when we experience anxiety, we are given information that we may be in danger.

When we experience anger, we might be provided with information that we do not have control or that someone has violated our rights in some way. Our emotions are our bodies' way of communicating with us. Listen to what they have to say.

Emotions Get Us Ready to Act

Emotions allow us to respond quickly and motivate us to act in certain ways. Because our emotions provide us with information about our environment, they also guide us in acting in ways that are appropriate to the situation.

当你感知危险或感到威胁时,你可能会通过离开这种情况来回应。在某些情况下可能会要求避免避免,但并不总是有用的或必要的。

Emotions Deepen Our Experience of Life

Life would be very boring without emotions. We need both our positive (happiness, excitement, joy) and negative (anger, anxiety, sadness) emotions. We may sometimes wish that we could get rid of all of our negative emotions; however, the experience of negative emotions is necessary to make positive emotions feel as exhilarating as they do.

Increasing Your Awareness of Your Emotions

Our emotions are necessary and important. However, the only way we can learn from our emotions is if we have awareness of them when they occur. Therefore, it can be important to learn ways of提高你对情绪的认识. The more aware you are of your emotions, the better able you will be in hearing what they have to say.

Managing Your Emotions

Now, just because emotions serve an important function does not mean that they aren't stressful at times. Emotions, especially very intense ones, can be overwhelming. Therefore, it can be helpful to learnways to bring down the intensity of emotionsso you can better approach it and learn from it. There are a number of管理你的情绪的健康方式that can help make your emotions feel less unpredictable and uncontrollable.

Even though emotions may sometimes feel unpleasant, they are all working for us in some way. By listening to our emotions, we can get some important information about our environment and ourselves.
