I think what's common here is a "stop, look, and listen" approach.

Stop from running away...

Look/examine what is happening, what emotion is there....

Listen to what that emotion is saying...

Ipse, I think it takes time.. (Either that or I am wayyyy slow in getting it, but I'm not giving up!) Slowing down and not running away is the hardest part for me, as well as just being able to name the emotion.

I think it takes time, and knowledge, and becoming familiar with feelings first.

What do you think?
