Many people have a go-to emotion that they jump to when facing difficult circumstances. Here's why they need to listen to other feelings they may be having too, writes DrAliceBoyes
Your dominant emotion and how you interpret situations are related. In particular, when things go wrong: do you tend to blame yourself or others?If someone forgets something, it must be because I didn't remind them enough.
If someone doesn't treat me well, it must be because I was too demanding or not socially skilled enough.Your dominant emotion might not be anxiety like mine is. Yours could be anger, resentment, frustration, or hopelessness.If you need a breather from your dominant emotion, you can approach it in two ways.blame myself when I'm not treated well. I feel more anger but less anxiety.I usually feel some sadness and anger, but my anxiety is so big, I barely detect those other emotions.
One practical technique is simply to say a non-dominant emotion word, like sadness, a few times and see where you feel that in your body. Right now, if I say the word sadness, I can feel it in my eyes, like that slightly prickly feeling when you could cry but don't. I can feel it slightly in my jaw too, a slight heaviness.
Let yourself just sit with your non-dominant emotions for a few seconds or a few minutes. Where you feel them in your body will probably dart around a bit during that time. Let them exist without pushing or pulling them, and without analyzing them. What works for me for reducing anxiety is to let those other emotions, like grief and sadness, surface more. The more I allow myself to feel those feelings, the more I get a"break" from feeling
