Emotion processing
Emotion processing is recognizing, experiencing, understanding, and integrating emotions in a way that supports adaptive action.
Definition
Emotion processing involves contact with body sensations, naming the emotion, understanding its context, and choosing a response. It is not about quickly getting rid of a feeling, but about giving it a place and meaning. In the case of trauma or very strong emotions, this process may require therapeutic support and stabilization.

Practice and life
Stop for 3 minutes and write down: emotion, body signal, need, possible response. Don't solve the whole problem at once.
Common misunderstanding
It is a mistake to confuse processing with endless analysis. The second mistake is to force a confrontation with an emotion when the nervous system is overloaded.
