Thinking Through Emotions Google Search It At times I have been accused of being more of a brain than a heart.  It was interesting to me, therefore, when I was asked how I felt about a really difficult issue in my life and I said I didn't know the answer yet because I hadn't thought through my emotions.  This is of course a typical response from a thinking (versus a feelings) oriented person but it really described well where I was at in wrestling with the particular issue.  What exactly does thinking through emotions mean, however?  Is this an oxymoron?  Is it possible to think through emotions and if one does do this do they end up in touch with the underlying emotions or instead simply control the emotions?  Whatever the answer, thinking through emotions is a pretty common occurrence for me so I am curious to know whether it helps me get more in touch with my feelings or not. 11:16:29 AM   []    comment []
