The words Phil uses
Plain meanings for the terms that come up in sessions.
- Emotion
- A strong feeling, like anger or fear, usually aimed at something, that changes how your body and behaviour respond.
- Dominant emotion
- The emotion you go to first when stress hits. Some people feel anger at an email from the boss when they could feel calm.
- Attitude
- A set of feelings, beliefs and behaviour toward a person, thing or event, often shaped by experience or upbringing.
- Trigger
- People, places, things, smells, words or colours that set off an automatic response.
- Behaviour
- How someone acts: to make something happen, to change it, or to keep it the same.
- Action
- Goal-directed behaviour: what you choose to do on purpose.
- Mental procrastination
- Knowing what to do and putting it off. It can bring anxiety and guilt, and is often a way of coping.
- Cognitive dissonance
- The discomfort of acting in ways that don’t fit what you believe about yourself.
