How to Develop Emotional Vocabulary

Koop LaRos: Emotions are meant to motivate us. They're not meant to lead our life. And so that's a very important thing to understand is that you have a thought and then you must find an emotion that will motivate you to fulfill that thought. People with this style generally try to avoid their feelings because it's easy to get overwhelmed. So these guys become codependent. While they long for safety and security and their romantic relationships they may also be acting in ways that push their partner away rather than invite them.
