Understanding Your 7 Emotions explains how emotions help us to respond to the world around us and are fundamental to our existence.
The book provides a detailed understanding of the main human emotions – fear, sadness, anger, disgust, guilt, shame and happiness – showing how to live with them, and how to resolve problems with them. Each of the seven chapters also includes an ‘emotional trap’ to highlight what happens when we get stuck responding in unhelpful ways and explains how to get out of the trap. Grounded in Emotion Science and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, the book provides a powerful alternative to mental health diagnosis. Examples and exercises are provided throughout to help apply the ideas in everyday life and achieve health and happiness.
This easy-to-read guide will help anybody interested in emotions, or struggling with common mental health problems, to better understand how emotions work and improve their own and other’s mental health and emotional wellbeing. It will also be an invaluable resource to those working in the caring professions.
