Yvette and I were having lunch discussing feelings and we started to discuss Yum & Yuck. We got excited and wanted to share with you something from the Curiosity Theory Workbook.
If you get stuck and can't figure out what someone is feeling, maybe they're not sharing their feelings in an obvious way. If you've experienced this try "The Yum! - Yuck! Technique."
Here's how it works:
Ask them if what they are feeling is Yum or Yuck!
It might sound funny but it really works.
Here's why it works:
Often, people don't like to discuss their feelings. However, on a basic level, we feel good when our needs are met and bad when they're not. In The Curiosity Theory we call this "The Yum! - Yuck! Factor". We feel Yum! when are needs are met and Yuck! when they are not. We find it easier for some people to express Yum! or Yuck! rather than their real feelings.
