A picture of pain.I will play the movie clip here next week.
3 minutes of stuttering emotions.
Tangled up words.
A beautiful example of having so many feelings
and not having the skill to let them out.
Emotional Literacy is just this.
Nothing clever.
Just a commitment
and a growing skill in being able to share -
not dump them on others -
but not pretending all is well.
Otherwise we are capped volcanoes.
Boiling/raging/exploding inside
and no means of release.
I blog about this a lot.
One big reason -
when I was working with gangs, starting in the 70's,
I realized it was not the deprivation of::
housing
education
spiritual
moral
social activities
parental support - ONLY
It was 'emotional deprivation' - that was/is the big one!
Since then I have been working on my own AND trying to facilitate learning in others.
