EQI.org Home | here is another page on decoding * under construction Decoding The English Language The general I idea is to try to convert "coded" expressions into emotionally literate "decoded" ones using feeling words. In othe words, trying to figure out and understand what statements really mean, and how people feel, what their emotional needs are and how they want you to feel. Many expressions are now like some kind of secret code which must be decoded. Things are much easier when communication direct, clear. |
