An accessible guide to understanding and processing our emotions, by the author of the acclaimed A Woman in Your Own Right.
In Trusting the Heart, Anne Dickson brings a wealth of personal and professional experience to helping us understand and process our emotions. She explains how we can live with and learn from our feelings more productively, and above all makes clear that emotion is part of everyday life and need not be seen as a problem.
Do you worry about expressing negative feelings? Do you find yourself blaming others for causing these feelings? Do you suspect deep down that some of your physical symptoms are linked to stress and unexpressed emotion?
Acclaimed author, psychologist and educator Anne Dickson has spent over forty years helping people to understand what emotions are and where they come from. In Trusting the Heart she:
- explains how to reconnect with our bodies to identify and understand emotions when they arise
- gives us confidence to express our feelings to others without blame
- encourages us to be more honest in all our relationships
- shows us that anger can be a positive force for personal and social change.
Trusting the Heart replaces unhelpful assumptions about feelings with clear information, and helps us to see that recognising and expressing feelings is a vital aspect of physical and mental health.
