Structural models of emotional freedom

Abstract

The study synthesizes theoretical perspectives on the structural models of emotional freedom and
emphasizes that the development of this skill significantly impacts people's quality of life. To acquire
emotional freedom, the presented models draw on various techniques and tools to facilitate its
development. Emotional awareness (LEAS Scale) is presented as a foundation, with a path from
bodily sensations to the identification of complex emotions in oneself and others. Emotional
differentiation and regulation are interdependent: a fine labeling of emotions expands the repertoire
of regulation strategies, and effective interventions combine the development of affective vocabulary
with practical techniques (mindfulness, reframing, body techniques). The theoretical models analyzed
— neuropsychological, expressive motivational relational and therapeutic (ACT, CFT) — offer
complementary perspectives that, integrated, support the formation of authentic emotional freedom.
The study emphasizes the crucial role of the family and school environment in the formation of self regulation and resilience and recommends programs that include assessment (LEAS), emotional
differentiation training, regulation training, and training for parents and teachers. Longitudinal studies
and cultural adaptations are proposed to validate and streamline interventions in local contexts. In
essence, emotional freedom is not an innate characteristic but a complex process that unfolds gradually
and is shaped by social contexts and experiences.
