Emotional intelligence, or emotional judgment, is described as the ability to understand your own emotions as well as the emotions of others, and to be able to manage your own emotions, as well as the emotions of others, in a healthy manner. Emotional intelligence has been made popular in the press, but it clearly is an important aspect of success in personal and business relationships.
Studies have indicated that persons with substance abuse disorders have lower levels of emotional intelligence than do those without substance abuse problems.
Can you see why that would make sense?
For most addicts, the primary relationship is with an inanimate object – food, drugs, alcohol, gambling. There is no emotional feedback loop. The relationship is one-sided, and very shallow, at best. Plus, when in the midst of dealing with your addiction, it is almost impossible to see things without major distortion. Clear thinking is not a hallmark of addiction!
Additionally, many addicts come from families where emotions are not discussed. Sometimes people are even punished when they express emotion!
At Green Gate Intensive, we will discuss emotional intelligence and help you to develop this valuable ability. As you learn to identify and manage your own emotions, you will begin to feel more powerful and less anxious. Identifying the emotions of others will empower you to develop more intimate and rewarding relationships both at home and at work.
Emotional intelligence plays an important role in our society.
At Green Gate Intensive, we want to raise your emotional IQ!
