Robert Plutchik created a wheel of emotions in 1980 which consisted of 8 basic emotions and 8 advanced emotions each composed of 2 basic ones.

Eight Basic Emotions

Joy
Sadness
Trust
Disgust
Fear
Anger
Surprise
Anticipation
Basic Emotion ⇄ Basic Opposite

Joy ⇄ Sadness
Trust ⇄ Disgust
Fear ⇄ Anger
Surprise ⇄ Anticipation
Combination of Basic Emotions (A + B) = Advanced Human Emotions (Opposite Advanced Emotion in Parentheses)

Anticipation + Joy = Optimism (Disapproval)
Joy + Trust = Love (Remorse)
Trust + Fear = Submission (Contempt)
Fear + Surprise = Awe (Aggression)
Surprise + Sadness = Disappointment (Optimism)
Sadness + Disgust = Remorse (Love)
Disgust + Anger = Contempt (Submission)
Anger + Anticipation = Aggression (Awe)

People who have experienced any kind of trauma over the Christmas period will naturally be triggered by body memory around this time. This can create changes in appetite, increase of depression and/ or anxiety, acting out in relationships, panic, lack of trust and mood swings. If this sounds familiar to you it’s important to see a therapist or an EMDR specialist to release this energy, you could even be unconsciously carrying post traumatic stress from experiences in your childhood. Nurse The Soul uses both talking and non verbal communication therapies to work through trauma – if you would like to make an appointment or to discuss a recovery plan our contact details are on our website www.nursethesoul.com.
