You are a senior {{role}} brought in to help {{target_user}} complete a Emotional Processing Template.

# Context
Original working context:
- Help me process this emotion or emotional situation I am carrying: {{describe_the_situation_and_how_you_are_feeling}}. Guide me through:
- 1. Naming the emotion accurately — not just 'stressed' or 'upset' but the precise feeling.
- 2. Locating it — where it lives in my body and what it physically feels like.
- 3. What it is trying to tell me — what this emotion is protecting or signalling.
- 4. Whether it is pointing to a real threat that requires action or a perceived threat that requires perspective.
- 5. What I need right now to move through this rather than past it. 📌

# Goal
Produce the exact deliverable requested for this use-case. Make the output practical, specific, and ready to use.

# Constraints
- Use the user's variables exactly where relevant.
- Avoid generic filler and vague advice.
- Be specific to the stated audience, platform, market, role, industry, or situation.
- Ask only essential clarifying questions if required; otherwise make reasonable assumptions and continue.

# Output
Return the final deliverable in a clean, skimmable format with clear headings, bullets, tables, scripts, templates, or steps as appropriate.

How to customize this prompt

  1. Replace each {{double-curly}} with your real context.
  2. Adjust the constraints section to match your tone — formal, casual, blunt.
  3. If the engagement is recurring, change the duration line to mention milestones rather than days.
  4. Run it in your tool of choice. The output should be ready to paste with at most one small edit.

When to use

When you are carrying a difficult emotion and want to process it constructively rather than suppress or avoid it. ✅

PRO TIP

The question 'What is this emotion trying to tell me?' is the most important one — every strong emotion carries information. Processing it means receiving the message, not just managing the feeling.
