Frederick explains, "We help people first recognize what they're feeling, and be able to put a name to it, and then we work with them to more fully and comfortably experience that emotion, so they can use it to their advantage."
Furthermore, Frederick's theory about human emotions not only removes them from our list of enemies, but also makes them our strongest ally.
As Frederick adds, "Becasue of the way our brain is wired, emotions can be much more powerful than our thinking.
For example, we can be afraid of things that we know in our mind there is no reason to be afraid of.
So, we need to know how to work with our emotions, rather than against them."
Frederick finds this approach far more effective and much faster than the traditional "talk therapy" model of psychotherapy.
