Description

As well as enriching our lives, our emotions signal whether our needs are being met and, therefore, ensure our survival. Whereas (in a healthy body) we can trust our emotions, we cannot trust our thoughts because the filters and distortions acquired over a lifetime can inflame our feelings. Therefore, this book details how to identify ‘fake’ feelings, how to regulate our feelings, and how to express our needs and listen to others in ways that enrich our relationships. It details how we can recover from an emotionally abusive childhood to practise emotional literacy and how to apply these skills in the workplace. Finally, it describes how to safeguard our brain health so that it generates true emotions. The book is suitable for adults wishing to enhance their own lives through emotional competence, or for those wishing to teach these skills to children.
