[Keeping company in an emotional trip. Emotional intelligence applied to the help relationship].
In order to be a good professional and caretaker, it is essential to work on one's capacity to manage one's own feelings and emotions in an adaptable, intelligent manner. This set of abilities form part of the concept known as Emotional Intelligence. One can only give to another what one is and one knows how to give to oneself. The five ability groups which make up affective or emotional intelligence are: self-knowledge, self-control, self-motivation, empathy and relationship abilities. All are necessary in order to carry out good management of our feelings and emotions.
