<div>'''EaR Framework'''<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The EaR Framework, also known as the Emotional Ability Resources (EaR) Framework, is an approach to emotional intelligence and emotional wellbeing developed by Indian clinical psychologist Dr. Pragati Sureka. The framework presents emotional intelligence as a set of learnable skills ("abilities") supported by practical techniques ("resources"), and proposes that emotional wellbeing is achievable for all individuals through daily intentional practice.[1]<br />
<br />
The framework is grounded in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Positive Psychology, and has been applied in individual, educational, and corporate settings across multiple countries.[2]<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Background'''<br />
<br />
Dr. Pragati Sureka began developing the EaR Framework from her clinical practice in India, starting around 2005. Sureka holds a licence from the British Psychological Society (BPS) and has undertaken academic study at the University of Cambridge, Harvard Medical School, and the Indian Institute of Management Calcutta (IIM-C), among other institutions.[3]<br />
<br />
The framework emerged from Sureka's observation that most individuals encounter significant emotional challenges without having been taught practical tools for emotional regulation. EaR was developed as an accessible, non-clinical intervention to address this gap.[1]<br />
<br />
'''Framework Description'''<br />
<br />
The EaR Framework is organised around the acronym EaR, standing for Emotional Ability Resources. Its central premise is that emotions are not fixed states to be endured but learnable abilities to be developed, and that individuals can build a repertoire of practical resources for emotional regulation.[1]<br />
<br />
The framework's guiding principle is the phrase: "Have an issue? Give EaR to it."[2]<br />
<br />
'''Components'''<br />
<br />
• Emotional (E): The accurate recognition, naming, and understanding of emotions in oneself and others. This component draws on emotional literacy traditions in clinical psychology.[1]<br />
<br />
• Ability (a): The conceptualisation of emotional regulation as a learnable and improvable skill, analogous to physical fitness. Informed by growth mindset theory and CBT principles.[1]<br />
<br />
• Resources (R): A set of practical, portable techniques and tools drawn from CBT, Positive Psychology, and clinical practice, intended for use in everyday situations.[2]<br />
<br />
'''Applications'''<br />
<br />
Individual: The framework has been taught through online courses on Udemy (English and Hindi), the book Emotional Ability Resources (Penguin Random House, 2023), and Dr. Sureka's YouTube channel and Spotify podcast.[4]<br />
<br />
Corporate: Dr. Sureka has delivered EaR-based training to corporate organisations internationally, focusing on leadership development and employee wellbeing.[3]<br />
<br />
Educational: The companion Hope Curriculum, published by Scholastic India, applies EaR principles in school settings for children and young people.[2]<br />

'''Reception'''<br />
<br />
The book Emotional Ability Resources was described by Felipe Fregni (Professor of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Harvard Medical School) as "a unique self-help aid to improve emotional intelligence."[5] Author and mental health advocate Aparna Piramal Raje stated that the book "makes it easy to explore our difficult inner emotional landscape."[5]<br />
<br />
Dr. Sureka has spoken at the World Economic Forum (2024) and delivered a TEDx Talk titled "Moving from Sidelines into Prominence" at TEDx Moti Vihar.[3]<br />
