The Power of Naming Your Emotions

Struggling to manage your feelings? You can't change what you can't name. So let's start there.

Hi, I'm Dr. Andrea Zorbas. I'm a psychologist in San Francisco, and I'm gonna show you why naming your emotions is one of the most powerful steps towards feeling better.

Naming brings clarity. Saying things like, I feel anxious or I feel hurt, will give your brain a place to start.

What it does is it softens the intensity, so research shows that labeling emotions can lower their power over you. It stops spirals, so instead of reacting to confusion, you can respond to what you're actually feeling.

Lastly, it builds emotional intelligence. So over time, you'll get better at recognizing and working through those complex feelings.

If you want help developing emotional clarity and resilience Therapy Now SF can help you build those tools and we'll start from wherever you are.
