Noticing one's feelings is crucial for self-awareness and emotional growth. Emphasizing curiosity and non-judgment facilitates deep inquiry into personal emotions. Understanding the reasons behind feelings, such as anxiety or distress, helps to uncover underlying needs for love, safety, and belonging. Familiar yet distressing emotions can create a misleading sense of safety, rooted in past experiences. By recognizing and questioning these feelings, individuals can begin to make more conscious choices in their emotional responses.
