Emotional Cognition Theory (pt 6) A New Psychoanalytic Therapy
Seeing our part in everything:
How does homeostasis play a role in 'Emotional Cognition' Therapy?
Homeostasis has to do with how energy flows through the structure of the organism. For humans it is physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual energy flowing and pulsating through a being !
The thought in this therapy is not only to intellectually agree -- but to 'meld' emotions so the client may feel support. Self-esteem issues can truly raise havoc for patients. Doctors should realize the vulnerability of patients -- especially when said patient "puts his foot down" in an effort to 'prove' himself. Remember, it is the patient who looks at his 'insides' compared to the therapist's 'outsides'. Instead of challenging the over bearing client into a staring contest it may be better to touch him gently by saying, "I have a feeling that you are not happy with yourself. What do you think you need to do to make you feel better?"
Ensuing discussion would then with time, center about: (1) What shortcomings need to be faced? and (2) How the client is to take action to reach his own homeostasis and alleviate pain? [Hint: Always fill a negative with a positive.] Both by an emotional showing and by intellectual logic answers are sure to come. Growth comes by using indifference towards ineffectual parts and 'building on' or enhancing other parts which prove effective. Grade school and middle school teachers use these methods when teaching simple tasks which children have to learn. How did one learn "times tables" or the use of a decimal point? How about a new language?
Homeostasis of energy as shown through emotions is recommended because it adds a continuity to demeanor [for both emotions and intellect]. It is like ballast -- or better yet like the tempered steel track on a roller coaster. When looking someone in the eye a total 'sense' of a person becomes present -- one knows when another is confident or afraid whether or not they admit it. Truth can many times be sensed.
What professions may use 'Emotional Cognition' Therapy?
Different therapists may work on the same patient in varying time periods. Indeed, different professions may use this therapy for their own benefit. A psychiatrist may use this therapy for diagnostic purposes. A police negotiator may use this therapy to "talk down" a possible suicide. A nurse may want to administer medicine to an unruly patient. A teacher may need to find a way of reaching an autistic student. Sometimes the process may take longer -- sometimes shorter -- but eventually as humans we have to accept emotions -- and how they affect (effect?) the intellect.
Humans -- with their unique brains -- have more ways of showing higher emotions than other animals -- even many other mammals. Although complex, this ability enables this species to communicate using many nuances. For a novice all of the expressions may seem too much -- for a 'journeyman' -- their feelings are sometimes betrayed by disparity between expression and words. Only a few can be termed as 'facedancers' and fewer yet really get down to the honest truth. Sadly, in other cases disease and illness prevent accurate communication -- perhaps even to the point of just plain not observing and listening. Yet, many believe that we do our best, and certainly the ability to communicate in so many different ways is truly a miracle!
Perhaps it is the constituents of the brain, or perhaps brain chemicals, but a sophisticated brain is correlated with this issue. From the use of members in a society, to an opposable thumb, only time and research can determine all of the effects of these matters. This brings up a conceptual consideration:
How do various "parts" combine to make up the entire picture?
Cells make up parts of the systems of bodies. Muscles, organs, and bones make up the vertebrate body. Glands produce hormones and brain chemicals. Constituent parts of the brain like the cerebral cortex, cerebellum, thalamus, and frontal lobe (plus more) make up the brain. All of these parts have to communicate -- the brain and the nerve stem guide the life of each organism and in a sense are the central communicator if you will.
Individuals make up families and groups. Groups make up cities and states. Religions and corporations make up beliefs and commerce. States make up a country. The society becomes a culture with many smaller cultures as part of it. A government guides each country. Communicators are needed everywhere!
Everything we are made of is made of parts. Everything else is then grouped. We all have a part. There are parts and energy to everything 'under the sun'! Homeostasis is universal !
To build a connection -- to build a connected world the client has to know that he is but a part of it.
Listen to Saint Paul:
"Now the body is not a single part, but many. If a foot should say,
'Because I am not an eye I do not belong to the body.
it does not for this reason belong any less to the body....
If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be?
....as it is, there are many parts, yet one body.'"
"As a body is one though it has many parts,
and all the parts of the body, though many, are one body,
so also Christ...."
(Corinthians)
Finally:
We need to apply Gestalt theory to 'Emotional Cognition' therapy:
"The whole is greater than the sum of its parts."
By knowing and arranging our feelings, emotions, thoughts, and the structure thereof we can see just what 'grand people' we really are!! Let's work together and if we may, give anyone who is really trying to communicate at least the benefit of the doubt!
Remember though -- listening and "reading" first, are the essential tools of the therapist.
Best Wishes !
