Dr. Nona Kocher, a board-certified psychiatrist based in Miami, FL, says emotional intelligence can be put into practice in several ways.
“It can look like labeling emotions with precision, taking a breath before reacting, understanding the impact of your tone of voice and repairing when you’ve responded inappropriately,” Dr. Kocher says. “Someone who is emotionally intelligent might be able to hold the tension of opposing feelings, read subtle social cues and speak in a way that leaves relationships in better shape.”
