This dialogue offers a practical, experience-near way of understanding emotions as signals that organize physiology, meaning, and action. Drawing from Ericksonian hypnosis, NLP, and clinical examples, it explores how emotions like grief, anger, fear, and curiosity can be worked with indirectly, through perception, language, and structure, rather than confrontation. The conversation gives therapists concrete ways to reduce emotional intensity, restore flexibility, and support regulation across diverse clients and cultures.
