emotion triggers the finger; intention brings the gun

A statement of rejection of the "insantiy defense" for those who commit homicide with a gun.

One does not carry a weapon without intention of using it!

Bowling for Columbine; Aching for Aurora.

James Holmes' legal defense team may present a not-guilty by reasons of insanity, but while emotion triggers the finger; intention brings the gun, and he brought more than one gun!

Emotionalyze

Emotional + Analyze = Emotionalyze

Created by Ayan Mukherjee who is the author of the blog - The Emotionalyst. To emotionalyze is to feel the emotions behind an experience and then to be able to objectively analyze the feelings, without rejecting, minimizing or rationalizing them away.

It is about giving equal importance to the information being processed through our innate, power of intuition and through our analytical mind, without rejecting either one of them.

Noun - Emotionalyst - one who emotionalyzes.

An Emotionalyst is at the point of balance between a dry, rationalizing intellectual and a person who is drowning in her emotions and cannot rationalize to save her life.

As David emotionalyzed the concept of "conscious relating", bringing in his own feelings about love and relationships, it started to make sense to him and it pushed him headlong into a great ah-ha moment that would change his life.

emotional tornado

A combination of anxiety and emotional distress and their spiral toward a child's inability to self-regulate, as witnessed in children, often during a regular school day. The emotional tornado spins from anxiety, emotional distress and poor self-regulation, followed by greater anxiety and further emotional turmoil. An emotional tornado can wreak havoc on a child's stress response system, impair maturing brain circuits and increase the probability for long-term learning, behavior and overall health.

Ashley's daily dose of bullying on the playground led to her heightened anxiety, emotional distress from the name calling and an inability to maintain her self-regulation in the recess line; she was experiencing an emotional tornado.
