Emotional Literacy Skills:
1. Emotional literacy is love-centered emotional intelligence.
2. Loving (oneself and others) and being loved (by oneself and others) are the essential conditions of emotional literacy.
3. The capacities of loving and accepting love, lost to most people, can be recovered and taught with five precise, simple, transactional exercises.
a. Knowing your own feelings
b. Having a heartfelt sense of empathy
c. Learning to manage our emotions
d. Repairing emotional damage
e. Putting it all together
4. In addition to improving loving skills, emotional literacy training involves three further skills of increasing difficulty; each one is supported by a further set of transactional exercises.
5. These skills are:
a. Speaking about our emotions and what causes them,
b. Developing our empathic intuition capacity, and
c. Apologizing for the damage caused by our emotional mistakes.
