Fexeus Henrik

Remember the words of Erickson: “If … it doesn’t work,… do something else.”

We’re on the same wavelength

“I hope you can see how important it is to focus on this, for you to hear what I say to you, and that you can feel the weight of my arguments—and for that to be the basis of a rational choice.”

You can also use the old car-salesman trick of asking control questions and listening to the answers. Start by asking, “Does this look good to you?” If you don’t get a meaningful response, switch to “What aspects of this have you discussed before?” or “I’d like to know how you feel about this.” Pay attention to which kinds of questions works best, and then continue to use those kinds of words and expressions.

Emotions come and go, and sometimes they replace one another.

There is a difference between an emotion and a mood. An emotion is shorter, and more intense, while a mood can last a lifetime and serves as a “background” to your emotions.

Othello’s mistake, named for the jealous main character in Othello by William Shakespeare (there he is again!).

Strong emotions can distort your perceptions of the world.

The seven basic emotions are:
Surprise
Sadness
Anger
Fear
Disgust
Contempt
Joy

1. Slight expressions: The whole expression is displayed, but with low intensity.
2. Partial expressions: Only part of the expression is displayed (the eyebrows, for example).
3. Microexpressions: The whole expression is displayed with intensity, but only for an extremely brief moment.
