English Art/Literary Psychology general
Your understanding or analytical abilities come from the left side of the brain, while your emotions or feelings come from the right. EWPs not
only bring added clarity and understanding to the left side of the brain, they can also stimulate feelings and emotions on the right. When you
use EWPs they can immediately enable the other person to understand what you are saying and feel what you are feeling.

disagree Ildiko Santana : I agree that this is unlikely to fit in this context, and the plural of "psychology" is also rather questionable, in my opinion.

Emotional Word Picture (EWP)

Since toma cristina will not be posting as an answer, I have found some websites on EWP, so I am taking the liberty of posting them.

The below website uses the "left brain/right brain" in the context of EWPs.

http://www.licoc.org/AOG/aog43.htm

An emotional word picture is a communication method that uses either a story or an object to help people to understand and feel what the other person is feeling. Emotional word pictures stimulate both the left brain (analytical) and the right brain (emotional) of men and women.

Example sentence:

For example, an American flag is an emotional word picture. It represents democracy and freedom and stirs up emotions of patriotism.

This method is called "emotional word pictures" and is defined as "a communication tool that uses a story or object to activate simultaneously the emotions and intellect of a person. In so doing, it causes the person to experience our words, not just hear

Here are the benefits for the Trainer of using EWPs:

1. They grab and direct a person’s attention
2. They have the power to change a person’s thinking and beliefs
3. They make communication come ‘alive’. By stimulating both right and left sides of the brain, the person begins ‘picturing’ what he or she is hearing
4. They lock words into a person’s memory – remember, we think in pictures, not words
5. They provide the gateway to provide better quality feedback, more easily received without negative consequence.
