“The Isolation Room” at Age 20… and the Challenge of Decoding Emotions from Age 12

1. A profound reflection on overthinking among young adults

Last week, MyEQ had the honor of partnering with Dr. Dang Thi Quynh Anh and the Student Association of the Faculty of Finance at Ho Chi Minh City Banking University (HUB) to organize the specialized seminar: “Overthinking: Inside Your Mind.”

The event inspired deep reflection through the presence and teachings of the founders of the SCT Foundation (Switzerland) and the UCM Teaching and Research Center, Professor Francis L. Kaya and Professor Christiane Muller. For the first time, hundreds of university students were introduced to the multidimensional approach of Symbolic Language and Emotional Intelligence.

Some of the “inner codes” explored during the seminar:

💧 Water and Emotions

More than 60% of the human body is made of water. In Symbolic Language, water represents the flow of emotions. Emotional Intelligence is about bringing awareness and wisdom into our emotions so that this flow does not become blocked but instead becomes a powerful force for making wise decisions and achieving authentic success in every area of life.

🧠 The “Inner ChatGPT”

Each of us possesses an extraordinary living computer within. It stores our memories, thoughts, emotions, and actions. Learning how to access and clear this inner database allows us to connect with the wisest version of ourselves.

🚪 Breaking Out of the “Isolation Room”

Christiane Muller highlighted a common psychological pattern among young people: locking themselves inside an emotional “isolation room.” Because of painful or disappointing experiences, we close inner doors, suppress emotions, and become trapped in cycles of overthinking.

🌟 The Law of Resonance

Even when we do not express them, our thoughts and emotions continue to radiate outward and are subtly perceived by those around us.

2. From the University Classroom to the Reality of Adolescence

As we listened to the students’ concerns, one reality became increasingly clear: overthinking and emotional isolation do not suddenly appear at age 20.

They are often the result of emotions that have accumulated over many years without being identified, understood, or expressed during adolescence (ages 10 to 18). When a teenager closes their bedroom door and stops communicating with their parents, they may already be building their own “isolation room.”

Rather than allowing young people to carry these emotional burdens into adulthood, parents can equip them with practical tools to understand themselves and navigate life more confidently.

🌱 MyEQ’s AtoE Summer Online Journey (Decoding Emotions), designed for youth ages 7 to 18, helps participants develop:

A – Awareness

Understanding the emotional flow within themselves so they are not overwhelmed by anger, anxiety, or fear. They learn how to transform and direct their emotions toward genuine happiness and fulfillment.

B – Balance

Learning how to access their “inner computer” and transform negative thought patterns that fuel overthinking.

C – Courage

Breaking the bubble of isolation, reconnecting with family, building self-confidence, and learning to make decisions with the presence and confidence of a true leader.

Sometimes, the greatest legacy parents can leave their children is not material wealth, but the ability to understand themselves, master their emotions, and move forward with confidence.

👉 Parents are invited to send the keyword “ATOE” via private message to MyEQ to receive personalized guidance on the summer program best suited to their child’s age and emotional needs.

MyEQ extends its heartfelt gratitude to the professors and students of HUB for their warm welcome. We wish you continued success in applying Emotional Intelligence to your studies, careers, relationships, and daily lives.

✨ 70.21% of teachers experience significant pressure from parents.
✨ 40% have considered leaving the profession.
✨ 77% experience symptoms related to mental health stress.

These numbers presented at Trần Phú High School in Vietnam are not just statistics. They reflect the silent reality experienced by so many teachers who dedicate their lives to guiding and educating future generations.

On May 22, 2026, more than 100 teachers gathered with MYEQ India experts, Professor Santhosh and Professor Haritha, to better understand the emotional tensions and pressures experienced daily in the world of education.

Through the expressions, reflections, and presence of the teachers, we could feel:
💛 the deep dedication of experienced educators,
💛 the pressure faced by young teachers beginning their careers,
💛 the sincere desire to better connect with Gen Z and Gen Alpha students.

A deeply touching moment unfolded when the entire room closed their eyes together to practice breathing exercises and an Intention meditation session. Gradually, the tensions accumulated in the body and mind began to soften… making space for calmness, inner listening, and a renewed sense of peace.

When teachers learn how to better manage emotions, the classroom becomes a safer, more inspiring, and more human environment. When parents better understand the emotional reality of their children, the home can once again become a true place of love, dialogue, and trust.

The blockages between Parents × Students × Teachers often do not come from a lack of love… but from a lack of a shared emotional language.

Emotional Intelligence (EQ) helps open that door.

🌱 This summer can become a beautiful opportunity to rebuild bridges, ease emotional tensions, and create a brighter new beginning for families, teachers, and children alike.
