Description

For those who struggle to manage their emotions, finding themselves overwhelmed and unable to control their reactions, this book offers a clear and simple guide. Drawing on her experience as a clinical psychologist, Dr Zurita Ona provides a roadmap for 'super-feelers' to avoid being hijacked by their emotions.

By applying the principles of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and positive psychology, you'll learn how to distinguish between emotion-based behavior and values-based behavior. This enables you to step back from uncontrolled emotional responses and choose a more appropriate one, leading to healthier relationships and a greater understanding of yourself.

As you progress through the book, you'll develop skills such as self-acceptance, forgiveness, compassion, mindfulness, and conflict resolution. Ultimately, you'll discover that you are more than your emotions and can always choose to act in a way consistent with your personal values, leading to fulfilling and loving relationships.
