What are emotional processing skills?
Emotional processing is the ability of people to process stress and other extreme events and move past them. When people are unable to process those emotions, they develop phobias and other mental issues. Emotional processing allows specific and intense feelings to dissipate over time. Being unable to control emotions can be temporary. It could be caused by something like a drop in blood sugar or exhaustion from lack of sleep. However, some people experience a constant inability to control their emotions because of a chronic condition. Being unable to control emotions can be temporary.

The 90-second chemical reaction of emotions Our emotional triggers or red flags activate chemical changes within our body which puts us on full alert: the fight, flight, or freeze response. For these chemicals to be totally flushed out of our body takes less than 90 seconds. Longer term, there’s an increased risk of diabetes and heart disease, says Victoria.

Emotional intelligence is the ability to recognize your emotions, understand what they’re telling you, and realize how your emotions affect people around you. It also involves your perception of others: when you understand how they feel, this allows you to manage relationships more effectively. Emotional information is stored through “packages” in our organs, tissues, skin, and muscles. These “packages” allow the emotional information to stay in our body parts until we can “release” it. Negative emotions in particular have a long-lasting effect on the body. Emotional information is stored through “packages” in our organs, tissues, skin, and muscles.

What are the 6 emotional skills?
The model that I present below contains six emotional skills: self-awareness, emotional expression, self-regulation, empathy, social skills, and self-motivation. Each domain contains twelve competencies: emotional self-awareness, emotional self-control, adaptability, achievement orientation, positive outlook, empathy, organisational awareness, influence, coaching and mentoring, conflict management, teamwork, and inspirational leadership. There are four kinds of basic emotions: happiness, sadness, fear, and anger, which are differentially associated with three core affects: reward (happiness), punishment (sadness), and stress (fear and anger). When you’re emotionally intelligent, you understand yourself at a deeper level. That means recognizing both your strengths and your weaknesses. You’re confident about what you contribute and where you need help from others. You’re also in tune with your emotions.
