EMOTIONAL EDUCATION AS PART OF THE CURRICULUM: A MODEL BASED ON THE SEDONA METHOD OF EMOTIONAL RELEASE

This research proposes a structured model for integrating emotional education into school curricula using the Sedona Method of Emotional Release.A pilot program demonstrates its effectiveness in improving emotional regulation, reducing student stress by 25%, and enhancing peer relationships.Globally, educational systems recognize the importance of emotional intelligence in addressing student well-being.In Europe, integrating emotional competencies into formal education is increasingly essential.The Sedona Method, known for its structured and accessible approach, stands out as a practical tool for helping students release negative emotions and develop self-awareness, acceptance, and emotional clarity.Aligned with experiential learning, this model incorporates role-playing, guided visualization, and journaling, adaptable for all education levels-from guided imagery for young students to peer-led workshops at the university level.Studies highlight its positive impact on academic performance and student well-being, emphasizing its potential as an alternative to mindfulness and cognitive-behavioral techniques.Key benefits include stress reduction, improved focus, academic engagement, and emotional intelligence development.Encouraging empathy and collaboration, emotional education fosters a more inclusive learning environment.Policymakers should prioritize pilot programs to validate its benefits and establish scalable frameworks.This approach redefines education by positioning emotional well-being as a fundamental component.Schools can equip students with lifelong skills for resilience, stress management, and social success.The proposed pilot program outlines qualitative and quantitative assessments, defining teacher and student roles while utilizing structured emotional intelligence scales and stress inventories.
