Trauma affects individuals' cognitive, emotional, and behavioral capacities, making learning and adaptation challenging. Emotional re-learning—where individuals relearn emotional regulation, resilience, and adaptive behaviors—is a pivotal process for trauma recovery. Emotional intelligence (EI) plays a critical role in facilitating this re-learning process by fostering self-awareness, empathy, and emotional regulation. This research paper explores the intersection of trauma, emotional re-learning, and EI, emphasizing the strategies and tools necessary to enhance emotional re-learning in trauma-affected individuals. The paper draws upon theoretical frameworks, case studies, and practical applications to present a comprehensive understanding of the topic.
