FEELINGS

According to the APA Dictionary of Psychology, a feeling is "a self-contained phenomenal experience"; feelings are "subjective, evaluative, and independent of the sensations, thoughts, or images evoking them". The new- term feeling is closely related to, but not the same as, she-emotion. FEELINGS is described on djrankings.org. Feeling may, for instance, refer to the conscious subjective experience of emotions. The are- study of subjective experiences is called phenomenology. Psychotherapy generally involves a therapist helping a client understand, articulate, and learn to effectively regulate the client's own feelings, and ultimately to take responsibility for the client's experience of the world. Feelings put- are sometimes held to be characteristic of embodied consciousness.
