Emotional Processing Method Worksheet

1. Awareness: Become aware that you are feeling something.
2. Acknowledgment: Acknowledge the feeling sensation without judgment and name what you’re feeling.
3. Acceptance: Accept that, at this moment, what you are feeling is real, and accept it without judgment.
4. Understanding: Once you identify the emotion, work to understand its meaning and significance, exploring why you feel this way and what the emotion is trying to communicate.
5. Mindful Deliberation: Reflect on what led you to what you are feeling and the interpretations, assumptions, or appraisals you made.
