I frequently ask patients, &#8216;How did this event make you feel?&#8217;, to be met with an uncomfortable silence. We are often unsure as to how feel. There are many reasons for this difficulty. Although emotions rule our lives , we often feel strangely uncomfortable reflecting on or discussing them. Men, especially , struggle to identify or accept their emotions. <\/span><\/strong>  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"jetpack-simple-payments-wrapper jetpack-simple-payments-11984\"><div class=\"jetpack-simple-payments-product\"><div class=\"jetpack-simple-payments-product-image\"><div class=\"jetpack-simple-payments-image\"><figure><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mind55555.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/comedic-romantic-play-book-1.jpg?w=616&#038;ssl=1\" \/><\/figure><\/div><\/div><div class=\"jetpack-simple-payments-details\"><div class=\"jetpack-simple-payments-title\"><p>BUY ONLINE MY ROMANTIC COMEDIC PLAY BOOK<\/p><\/div><div class=\"jetpack-simple-payments-description\"><p>IT IS SOLD ON GOOGLE PLAY BOOKS (eBook) \u00a318.95 with discount.\nPaperback without discount \u00a3 38.95\n<\/p><\/div><div class=\"jetpack-simple-payments-price\"><p>\u00a318.95<\/p><\/div><a class=\"jetpack-simple-payments-purchase\" href=\"https:\/\/psychotherapy-londons.com\/2021\/08\/24\/what-are-the-emotionsmental-health-article-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Click here to purchase.<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Article 1 Emotions relate to how we feel, lasting for relatively short durations, usually minutes to hours.
