The Model Of Emotions
Wild Horses & Components of Emotions1:51
To effectively manage your mood and handle challenging situations, it is important to identify and differentiate between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. Often, when we are overwhelmed, our emotions feel overwhelming and we do not take the time to understand the different components of that emotion. This makes it difficult for us to do anything about our mood other than wait for it to pass.

By breaking down our emotions into their various parts in the moment, we can gain valuable insight into what is causing or worsening our unpleasant emotions. By examining our thoughts, feelings, and behaviours, we can learn how to make changes, such as redirecting negative thoughts or altering behaviours that may be contributing to the problem. By practicing this skill using the CBT model, we can become more proficient at managing our moods and responding effectively to challenging situations.
