Interrupters and Motivators

I heard a talk show host mention emotional interrupters and motivators. I couldn’t listen to the end. Can you explain those for me?

 Shame and Guilt are often referred to as emotional interrupters. They get your attention. They may be helpful and healthy or false and unhealthy. Typically, they are learned reactions, some as far back as very early childhood. Fortunately, because they are learned, you can learn healthier reactions. Surprise and Disgust are emotional motivators that may arise with any core emotion. They can increase not only the strength of the emotion but also the resulting action or behavior you choose to exhibit. They also can be learned reactions, some carried forward from the past 3-4 generations and passed on to the next 3-4 generations. Emotional Intelligence is designed to help you build skills to manage emotions and feelings more effectively. EQ can also help you differentiate between false shame and guilt and healthy shame and guilt and choose healthier responses and behaviors. EQ can help you to define how you choose to respond to surprise and disgust and the behaviors you want to exhibit.
