Toxic Emotions VS Authentic Emotions | How to Recognise Dysfunctional Patterns

Emotions are responses that help us evaluate different inner states or circumstances we find ourselves in, such as danger, loss, violation, gratification, etc. and inform us about our needs. Listening to our emotions is essential to understanding what is happening and directing ourselves constructively toward realising our needs and solving problems.
Authentic or natural emotions are joy, pain, fear, anger, disgust and surprise.
These movements help us evaluate inner states like danger, loss, violation, gratification, etc., inform us about our needs and complete emotional cycles in the present moment.
"I am in danger. I feel fear. I need to escape or defend myself."
Toxic emotions are responses that cover or replace effective and congruent emotions and are unsuitable for problem-solving. When my personal boundaries are crossed, I replace anger (becoming assertive) with shame, which is ineffective in solving the situation.
Toxic emotions, such as pleasing or sacrificing, are often learned, imitated, or encouraged during childhood and are often indirectly used to gain recognition and
attention from others. To tap into and restore authentic emotions, we must develop authentic listening and welcome our inner child, where it all began.
This inner connection and attunement allow us to develop self-awareness and knowledge and become conscious of dysfunctional and toxic reactions.
