Abstract:

The emotions, feelings and intuitions that make life meaningful such as goodness and bad, happiness and unhapiness that are constantly experienced and affect our lives; add meaning to our existence with all their existence or absence. To this end, Emotion-Oriented Therapy is a process of therapy aimed at understanding the role of emotion and the meaning of life through psychotherapeutic changes. Through emotion-oriented therapy, clients are helped to better identify, experience, accept, regulate, examine, translate, use, and flexibly control emotions. In their communicative processes, awareness is created in order for the clients to better orient their emotions and to better define their needs and concerns at the center of these said emotions. For this purpose, the basic assumption of therapy is to realize the existence and universality of the basic emotions of innate fear, shame, guilt, anger, sadness, disgust, enthusiasm, joy.
