Understanding Emotions
What Are Emotions?
Emotions are complex psychological states that involve three distinct components: a subjective experience, a physiological response, and a behavioral or expressive response. They are our body’s way of communicating with us about what we are experiencing and can range from joy and love to fear and sadness.
The Role of Emotions
Emotions play a critical role in our lives. They help us to react to situations, make decisions, and connect with others. Emotions can motivate us to take action, avoid danger, and build relationships.
