Developing Our Personal Language (Ep.32)

Justus Frank: Life Of Learning

"Our personal language is what we use to express our feelings, reactions, and needs and set our limits."

"The nucleus of a personal language is:

I want to. I don't want to.

I like. I don't like.

I will. I will not."

"(Personal language must not be confused with the type of quasi-personal language that has evolved in the past 25 years, which is psychological in origin and is based on the notion that people need to "talk about their feelings." Using this language, it is possible, to a certain extent, to describe oneself to others, but this language lacks the liberating and contact intensifying power of personal language. Statements starting with the expression, "I feel..." rarely take on the same personal intensity as saying I want). Talking about our feelings might have a certain social value but for our mental health as well as for the quality of our relationships with people we love and care about the ability to express ourselves verbally and emotionally is far more important.
