Emotions - the untapped Resource
If only emotions could talk...
Have you ever wondered if your emotions could talk? What would you say if I told you they already do, it's just not in the way you think... not in the way you think.
Emotions don't come in the form of thoughts or words, though that is ultimately how we often try to decipher, categorize and understand them. They are complex psycho-somatic (mental and physical) experiences that create what we sense as an emotion. Emotions are essential processes that help us engage in experience, deliver and process information, grow and develop, connect with both ourselves and others in our lives.
If you can release emotions from being filtered through your mind as a way to make them fit into a logical model and simply allow emotions to be speaking a different language coming to you filled with knowledge, assistance and direction from other sources, I wonder how your view of emotions and their messages might shift and therefore your relationship with them.
Learning the underlying message and function of our emotions creates an amazingly powerful resource for you to use in every aspect and situation of your life, because if we pay attention, we have feelings about everything.
Thank goodness! This means there is always a reservoir of knowledge and built in pathways to action that are held inherently within each emotion's resonance. Like the gallbladder producing bile to help digest fats from our diet, the action-requiring process for sadness helps us release that which is no longer serving us, thus creating space to welcome in something new.
If you've just felt your brain get curious (or explode ;) get into action! Sign up for the next workshop, get the book, or at the very least let yourself see your emotions with a brand new perspective. You just might find what you've been looking for.
Putting Emotions On Your Team
Core Functions
- Emotions are vital sources of information from your psyche responding to events and stimuli happening in your life.
- Gifts from emotion engagement emerge as transformations which resonate through the energetic layers of who you are, reach every cell of your being and move you into action.
- Emotions are always true, but they are not always right. This distinction can really improve your emotional engagement in the present moment to be more accurate.
- Emotions rise when called upon. Every single time. We can gum up the works, but we can't ever successfully separate from them.
Releasing the Old Ways
Emptying the outdated beliefs about emotions is the first step to making room for new understanding and behaviour. Some cutting edge near-scientists are breaking free of the old mistaken paradigms.
Gifts from the work of:
Antonio Damasio PhD - Emotions are essential action-requiring neurological programs.
Decoded meaning: emotions recede naturally when the appropriate action is made for the activated emotion..
Lisa Feldman Barret PhD - We have one brain, not three.
Decoded meaning: Emotions are in the whole brain, bye bye lizard brain.
So Sensitive: An Emotion Initiative
The purpose at So Sensitive is to create a wave of new perception and perspective when it comes to emotions, and to bring them into an integrated and valued aspect of who we are as human beings. Using the Dynamic Emotional Integration® foundation we explore the innate gifts of each emotion and develop skills to identify and engage with everything we feel in order to receive their messages and genius. Our work is for individuals looking to enhance any area of their life using an integrated and wholistic approach and wanting to expand beyond a pathology paradigm.
FAQ's
What is Dynamic Emotional Integration®

Recognizing and engaging with every emotion is truly key to overall wellbeing, because each emotion has a unique set of gifts that unfold when conscious engagement occurs.
How are consultations different than counselling?
Your emotions are vital aspects of your basic cognition, and you can learn to work with each one of them skillfully. DEI Consultations help you focus on the unique ways that your emotions are working in your life, and on the genius in your emotional realm. DEI skills can help you learn to work with most of your emotions on your own.
However, there are situations where clinical support is helpful, such as long-term depressions, post-traumatic conditions, difficulties with abusive relationships, addictions, and other, more intense situations. We maintain clear boundaries between DEI and therapy, yet we also work with people who are in concurrent therapy, because learning more about your emotions and developing skills with them is helpful at any time, and for everyone.
Do you offer CEU's to professionals for workshops?
For professionals across various health modalities, courses to qualify for CEU's differ greatly, so there are no guarantees your regulatory body will accept workshop hours. The responsibility of verifying eligibility stands with each attendee, so please review your college's policy for confirmation the hours will be acceptable. I can provide a letter of attendance for live workshops only upon prior request to the workshop for a small fee.
Who is this work right for?
This work is helpful for individuals looking to live and experience their emotions in a new and engaging way. Learning to listen inwardly opens a whole new world and perspective, so being ready for change and growth is always helpful in your journey.
