An important aspect of the management of emotions is impulse control. Emotionally immature persons have very little impulse control. When they feel like doing something they do it. Mature persons are able to make an assessment of the appropriateness or inappropriateness of an action before engaging in it.
Just as when we learn arithmetic or learn to drive we need training and practice also to manage emotions we need training and practice. Unfortunately there is very little training or opportunity to practice to manage emotions either in our families or in our educational system. Neither does it happen during the formation period. Some lucky ones who are able to avail the luxury of individual counselling or group therapy may get some training in this area but that too not to the degree needed. We give our candidates training in theology, philosophy, liturgy etc. Why not include also training in managing emotions?
What is applicable to the formees is also applicable to the formators. They too need to be emotionally aware and able to handle their emotions effectively. They need to be role models in this respect. Unfortunately, formators are not such role models always. This points to the need for formators (see Kuttianimattathil, Lendakadavil & Pereira, Ch 23, volume 2) to have worked through their own emotional baggage.
