Emotional Literacy: Making Sense of Emotions
Stop managing the noise. Start deciphering the wisdom.
Emotional Literacy is the capacity to identify, name, and interpret internal signals accurately. By precisely labeling what is happening inside—a process known as Affect Labeling—you shift brain activity from the reactive amygdala to the reflective prefrontal cortex.
This naturally reduces emotional intensity and overwhelm, allowing you to lead with strategic clarity instead of just "getting through" the day.
-
Decipher feelings rather than suppressing them.
-
Uncover the wisdom behind uncomfortable emotions.
-
Build daily tools for emotional fluidity—no therapy needed.
We are told to keep quiet, stay calm, manage our emotions, breathe! While all these are great tips to manage emotions, we often fall back into the same patterns of suppressing our feelings, feeling a temporary calmness or reprieve from desolation, followed by self-doubt or self-blame, then negative emotions surface again.
ThisFeelingHuman.com is my life's mission, to harness all our emotions, welcome them, and uncover the inner wisdom that may transform your life forever.

Emotional Literacy & Mood Regulation Workshop
Do you encounter uncomfortable emotions and sometimes struggle to cope or understand its purpose? I am Ignatius Quek, certified well-being strategy coach and I work with over 400 organisations and their executives to help them use emotions to bring out the best in them and to foster resilient teams.
Using specialised research-based techniques such as MEMI (Multi-Channel Eye Movement Integration), NLP techniques and Emoli Cards for regulating emotions and bring about emotional literacy, my clients learn to self-regulate, integrate the whole brain and understand the needs, beliefs and values that matter to them.
Ignatius practices emotions based coaching at Singapore psychotherapy clinic My Inner Child Clinic.
