Kurzinhalt: Uneinigkeit unter Psychologen; Gefühle als Antworten auf Werte; anstatt Identifikation mit Gefühlen Objektivierung von Gefühlen

Textausschnitt: Many psychologists deem all transient feelings of sadness, hopelessness, or discouragement as bad. What's more, many haven’t realized that feelings are our initial responses to values, and it’s the values that count toward the good life, not the painfulness of the feelings.

() Instead of identifying with their feelings ("I'm just a hopeless person"), talking helped objectify the feelings ("I'm a person assailed by feelings of hopelessness"). Ignatius knew about the technique of stepping back from inner movements. He referred to both inspirations and temptations as "coming from without."
