The Language of Emotions

The Language of Emotions (2010) presents a transformative approach to emotional intelligence that reframes difficult feelings as vital messengers rather than problems to be solved. Through practical tools for emotional awareness and concrete strategies for decoding emotional messages, this influential work shows how developing a deeper relationship with our full emotional spectrum can lead to more authentic relationships, clearer boundaries, and a more fulfilling life. 

• Those recovering from environments where their emotions were dismissed or devalued
• People working through emotional challenges, seeking to understand their feelings
• Anyone interested in the mind-body connection and how physical awareness can support emotional wellbeing
