EMOTIONS Can you name a time when you felt
physcial pain? How did you react to this painful
situation? What would have happened if you could
not have felt the pain? Would it be good to never feel pain ?
Emotional pain serves the same purpose as physical pain. Unpleasant emotions help us know when we need help. Even unpleasant emotions can be healthy.
MENTAL HEALTH Perception - how you view a situation Dealing with confusing feelings in a
healthy way is a large part of mental health.
So what is your mental health???? MH = is the way people think about and
respond to events in their daily lives.
Your emotions play a large role in a your mental health status.
EMOTIONS What section of your body
produces your emotions? The Brain Emotions = is a feeling
produced in response to a life event.
What are some examples of emotions a person can feel???
What are some physical responses the body goes through as a result of a strong emotional reaction
EMOTIONAL HEALTH EH = is the way a person experiences
and deals with feelings. Going through a wide range of emotions
is perfectly normal Even unpleasant emotions can be
healthy to experience.
Healthy emotions can help us appreciate relatiohips, success, and loss or failure.
TEENS AND EMOTIONS Even though this is a confusing time full
of physical, social , and emotional change- most teens go through healthy emotional changes.
As you grow up and get older you will be exposed to gradually increasing roles, responsibilities, and freedoms that can correlate into increasing emotional stress.
What are some new roles or responsibilities you may be facing???
HORMONES As you go through puberty the body will
begin to produce hormones H= are chemicals that help control how
the body grows and functions. Hormones are released in to the blood
stream by the brain and other organs in the body called glands.
Mood and energy are two major features effected by this chemical release
UNDERSTANDING YOUR EMOTIONS
How do you feel physically when you are embarrassed?
Feeling only one type of emotion all the time would be irrational and unhealthy
Feeling embarrassed or unhappiness are important for us to learn from and grow.
Going through unpleasant times helps us learn and hopefully avoid future problematic situations.
EMOTIONAL SPECTRUM What is your Emotional Spectrum??? ES= a set of emotions arranged by how
pleasant they are.
The emotions will be set so that they are opposite one another on the wheel. Example – love / hate sadness / happy
EMOTIONAL SPECTRUM
RECOGNIZING YOUR EMOTIONS Understanding and recognizing your emotions is
not always easy You may feel many emotions at a single time Identifying your emotions is vital for being able to
cope with life situations. Can you give an example of feeling more than one
emotion at a time.
When a person feels fear- it may be accompanied with nerves or anxiety
This may be confusing or overwhelming, you must recognize that you are feeling a mix of strong emotions to cope and deal in a positive rational way.
TRIGGERS A way to understand your emotions is to
learn the situations that are more likely to cause specific emotions
Situations, people, and events that cause a person to feel emotions are called triggers
Not everyone reacts the same way to triggers.
Being able to avoid unpleasant times means you must understand what triggers you to react in a negative way.

EXPRESSING EMOTIONS Active listening and open communication
are two ways of avoiding added stress or unhealthy relatiohips.

posture.

COPING WITH EMOTIONS Coping with your emotions means you
must deal with them in ways that show respect for others and make you feel better.
