Trek – Week Twenty-Six

During (their) time at HopeQuest, (clients) will be asked to write IFAB (I feel… _____ About…______ Because…______.) statements in a Feeling Inventory (FI) almost every day in order to practice recognizing and identifying your emotions — EMOTIONAL AWARENESS. (They) will also be using IFAB statements in group in order to practice sharing (their) feelings with other people — EMOTIONAL INTIMACY.

…EMOTIONAL AWARENESS is the ability to recognize and identify feelings and EMOTIONAL INTIMACY is sharing our feelings with others so that we can be truly known in relationship.
