“FEELING” MANAGEMENT contd….
• CAN WE LIVE WITHOUT FEELINGS AND
ACOCIATED THOUGHTS?
• INTENSITY OF FEELING IS THE PROBLEM NOT
THE FEELING.
• IMBALANCE IN BIO- CHEMICAL RESPONSE OF
BRAIN TO SENSE SIGNALS CAUSES INTENSE
FEELINGS.

OF NEURONS AND THEIR INTERNAL CONNECTIONS
Management of FEELING?
• INTENSE FEELINGS – IMBALANCE IN
BIOCHEMICAL RESPONSE OF NEURONS.
