Background

‘Emotions’ is an adaptive role that helps people deal with crucial survival issues. Thus, recognizing the list of emotions is the first and essential step.
1. Recognize emotion
2. Expose the environment
3. Coach the student to identify the solution

The school or guidance counselor can help a student resolve specific issues, but the problem should first be identified. It is essential to recognize the following symptoms that may need special attention:
1. Stress
2. Hidden Emotion
3. Trauma

Robert Plutchik’s psychoevolutionary theory is an influential classification of the eight primary emotions. Six were adapted to the Emoji Project out of the ten lists of emotions.

ROOT CAUSE OF DEPRESSION.

Dealing with extreme cases

Should the counselor or life coach come across complex cases, the issue can be addressed through the help of other faith-based organizations. 

Complex trauma: A clinician may deal with prolonged trauma, but in most cases, the issue can readily be addressed through the support of faith-based churches.

Adverse childhood experience (ACE): These include emotional, physical, and sexual abuse caused by ‘Household Dysfunction’ as a direct result of (A) Divorce, (2) Drug abuse, and (3) Fatherless.

Anhedonia: Diminished capacity to experience pleasure. Anhedonia is the inability to sustain happy thoughts related to depression and anxiety.

Other signs to consider:
1. Obesity and diabetes
2. Depression
