A Workbook for Adults
Do you know that feeling of just going through the motions in everyday life, without really being in touch with yourself and your feelings? Perhaps sometimes it all becomes too much; too vague or too difficult to make sense of. You react irritably and withdraw, even though what you actually need is closeness. And certain thoughts and feelings keep repeating themselves in the same cycles, even though you long to take the next step forward.
The aim of this book is not merely to convey knowledge about emotions, but to practise and strengthen emotional competence, making it one of the first books of its kind for adults. More than 30 exercises and daily rituals will help you develop and strengthen key aspects of emotional competence, through writing, sensing, reflection, repetition and small experiments in daily life.
Together, we’ll explore questions such as:
- How do feelings manifest themselves in the body?
- Which feelings feel familiar to me, and which are more distant?
- What do I actually require to be happy?
- Which beliefs still hold me back today, and how can I change them?
- What have I inherited emotionally from my parents, and what would I like to do differently?
- How can I allow myself to be vulnerable whilst still setting boundaries?
- How can I address things that bother me without breaking off contact?
This practical workbook takes you directly into practice: into how you deal with emotions, your relationships, and your everyday life.
Are you ready to take the first step?
