Implicit nonverbal behavioris needed to study in clinical setting especially participant who have depression symptoms. We focused to explore the dynamics of emotions and facial expression emotional representation during a participant's life trajectory at the past, present and the future event.Simultaneously, mixed methods were used by combining qualitative and quantitative methods.For qualitative methods,we administered the TEA by interviewing the bifurcation point (BFP) during his past and the Equifinality point (EFP) or the present event and imagination of their future. Thematic analysis was performed for word expressions for each of BFP,EFP and the future. Forthe quantitative research, we recorded the facial expression participant during the TEA Interview. Our findings indicated Action Units of AU4,AU5, AU7 and AU15 as markers of sadness, fear and anger involved significantly during the interview. These markers supported the qualitative research result due to the word expression of the past, the present and future
