Overview
Emotions are central to psychological wellbeing, affecting how we view ourselves, relate to others, and respond to events. In therapy, helping clients understand the nature, function, and impact of emotions is important for developing meaningful case conceptualisations and effective treatment plans. This guide introduces clients to key emotional concepts, including what emotions are, how they differ from one another, and the reasons people experience them. It also explores why emotional difficulties arise, how they contribute to mental health issues, and how different therapeutic models make sense of emotional disturbances.
