Gentle Guidance for Stress

Is it safe to unpack your "I'm Fine" box? Don't worry- nobody's going to make you share your feelings. The world can be a scary place, and there are many instances where it's not safe or appropriate to be vulnerable. However, when you ARE ready to unpack your feelings, this book can help.

This illustrated glossary of emotions is designed to help you recognize, name, and support the parts of you that feel overwhelmed, anxious, angry or unseen. To make your reading more enjoyable, each emotion is personified with a cute little cartoon. Externalizing emotions like this is a powerful way to create psychological distance from intense feelings, and make them easier to acknowledge and process.

Whether you're feeling lost or simply want to deepen your emotional awareness, this book will help you greet your inner world with curiosity and kindness.

This is a great reference book for social workers and therapists and aligns well with Internal Family Systems (IFS).
