Description

We all sustain emotional wounds. Failure, guilt, rejection and loss are as much a part of life as the occasional scraped elbow. But while we typically bandage a cut or ice a sprained ankle, our first aid kit for emotional injuries is not just understocked - it's nonexistent. Fortunately, there is such a thing as mental first aid for battered emotions. Drawing on the latest scientific research and using actual examples, practicing psychologist, Guy Winch, offers specific step-by-step treatments that are fast, simple and effective. Prescriptive and unique, EMOTIONAL FIRST AID is essential reading for anyone looking to become more resilient, build self-esteem and let go of the hurts and hang-ups that are holding them back.

Reviews

Dr. Guy Winch s practical, clever and clear-headed book offers proven remedies for the myriad pains of daily life. Timely application will prevent small and medium-size emotional ills from becoming bigger ones and that s just what the psychotherapist ordered. Jeanne Safer, PhD, author of "Cain s Legacy: Liberating Siblings from a Lifetime of Rage, Shame, Secrecy, and Regret" "The advice Winch offers in this refreshingly useful book is both practical and practicable -- down-to-earth techniques that really can bring relief when things feel like they're falling apart." Anneli Rufus, author of "The Big Book of Low Self-Esteem""
