The ability to recognise, address and manage our emotions is known as emotional awareness. The more we become aware of the way we feel, the experiences that trigger such emotions and how to effectively manage them and feel better, the more we become emotionally aware. "Developing emotional awareness involves becoming more attuned to your own emotions, understanding their causes and effects, and learning how to manage them effectively," wrote Therapist Lucille Shackleton.
