Learning emotional literacy takes time like learning numeracy and other forms of literacy

I often have to remind patients that learning emotional literacy is like learning numeracy or any other form of literacy like financial literacy.

It takes time, awareness, application, effort, regular reflection, critical thinking, critical feeling, and consistent practice.

One can’t be good at it after 10 sessions.

It’s more of a growth journey rather than reaching an “end point” quickly.

It’s more of a marathon rather than a sprint.
