Emotional literacy leads to healthier communication from "summary" of Permission to Feel by Marc Brackett

When we understand our emotions and can accurately label them, we are better equipped to express ourselves to others in a clear and effective manner. Emotional literacy allows us to communicate our feelings in a way that is honest and respectful, leading to healthier interactions with those around us. When we can identify our emotions and articulate them with precision, we are more likely to be understood by others, fostering stronger and more meaningful connections. By developing emotional intelligence, we become more attuned to our own emotional experiences, as well as those of others. This heightened awareness enables us to respond to emotions in a more compassionate and empathetic way, leading to more open and honest communication. When we are able to recognize and validate the feelings of others, we create a safe space for them to express themselves without fear of judgment or rejection. Emotional literacy also helps us to navigate difficult conversations and resolve conflicts more effectively. When we are able to communicate our emotions clearly and respectfully, we can address issues head-on and work towards finding a resolution that satisfies all parties involved. By listening actively and responding thoughtfully, we can build trust and understanding in our relationships, leading to improved communication and a stronger sense of connection.
