What is Emotional Intelligence?
Loosely speaking, Emotional Intelligence refers to a person’s ability to read, acknowledge, and successfully attend to their own and others’ emotional needs. On the surface, this appears easy enough; however, in practice, most humans find this difficult to do, for a number of reasons:
They don’t consider themselves “emotional”, or don’t value feeling as valuable information
They are emotional, but have had that part of them “regulated” with self-censorship, and other forms of self-harm
They get “stuck” by the feelings they feel, which discourages them from doing the work to effectively process them
They’re so flooded by emotion that they’re incapable of being present to the feelings of others without blurring boundaries and responsibilities between the two.
The EWI Approach
At Emotion With Intention, feelings aren’t just an experience we live with—they are a curriculum. Here, feelings aren’t assumed to be facts; however, they ARE recognized and invited in as VALUABLE information about what a person’s whole life—body, history, inner selves—may be asking of them at any given moment.
As an EQ coach, my job is to mentor clients into stronger, more masterful relationships with their feelings, so that their emotions reflect who they truly are and want to be. Through the services I provide, people learn how to use their feelings “syllabus” to reconcile their past experiences, become firmly rooted in the present, and to set themselves up for the high-quality future connections we all desire and need.
Focused Attention
Unwavering, undivided, nonjudgmental guidance at every step along the journey.
Deep Transmutation
Learning how to truly see, loosen up, and feel the feelings, so that we can make more informed choices about the ones that stay, and those that can be transformed into something more beneficial.
