At the center of all the emotional confusion we experience are feelings of love and hatred, which are the opposite of love. We desire to love and be loved. When we encounter hateful behavior rather than love, we don't know what to do with those feelings or who to talk to about them. We are left with the need to oppose this hateful behavior and our helpful emotions locked inside us. At the very least, we cannot share our need for love. We do not understand the hatred we feel ourselves, and we understand very little the feelings of others. We hide our feelings or lie about them or pretend that we don't feel them.
Many of us have had our hearts broken so many times in our close relationships, where we could live freely without listening to our feelings, that even when we are in the grip of that passionate love, we hide ourselves and cannot reveal them. Heartaches that are not forgotten for a long time prevent us from fully releasing ourselves, and when establishing a relationship with someone, we partially keep our secrets and maintain a protective distance. We do not give ourselves fully to the other person. Rarely, we experience our most beautiful emotional experiences without obstacles and allow ourselves to experience the love of feeling deep feelings for someone. Usually, instead of experiencing these deep and beautiful feelings, we build our lives on resentments and disappointments. These feelings sometimes turn into a feeling of complete hatred. Once hatred is revealed, it infects everything and destroys love completely.
Most of what we feel should be experienced. We are open to experiencing sincere and deep emotions. We are hungry to establish connections with others, to understand others and to be understood. In short, we long to love and be loved. But how to get there? We know that experiencing our emotions wholeheartedly, having sincere passions, that is, loving, being loved, crying, rejoicing, and even suffering, is a rich and valuable experience. In fact, we are constantly searching for indirectly artificial ways to experience our emotions. To achieve this, we use drugs or watch adventure, horror and romantic movies, and become addicted to TV shows. We do all of this to get emotionally stimulated. It causes us to feel intense excitement because we cannot find the things we really miss. We are willing to participate in risky activities. When we look at society, we can easily see how this trauma of lack of love and hatred leads to numbness and deep emotional disturbances. A hateful lifestyle that is out of control can suddenly surround our entire lives and society and be transmitted from generation to generation. We urgently need to break the cycle of emotional apathy, violence and lovelessness. One way to do this is to learn emotional awareness, experience the feeling of love, and finally develop empathy. The ability to be open-hearted; It means feeling what others feel and being able to respond to their feelings with compassion, kindness and kindness. Being aware of our love experiences will enable us to see our anger, hatred and other negative emotions clearly. In order to make emotional discoveries, it is necessary to recognize these emotions, understand them and learn to express them. As an emotional explorer, we can ensure that our emotions work with us instead of working against ourselves and our environment. We learn to cope with difficult, emotional situations that lead to lying, lashing out, fighting, and hurting other people. Instead of these emotions, we learn to enjoy the feelings of loving, hopeful, and joyful.
Unfortunately, many of us are under the influence of a constant trauma of emotional risk, some from ordinary daily difficulties, some from betrayal and disappointment. If we do not find the starting point through our emotional explorations, we will freeze to protect ourselves from all emotional pain. When we hide in the protective emotional shell, we lose our connection with our emotions and become weak by losing the ability to understand and control our emotions.
We hunger for emotional experience and seek to find it. Emotional exploration is a direct and effective way to reconnect with our feelings and emotions and the power of emotions, especially the power of our love.
