Emotional processing: Healing through feeling
Synopsis
Roger Baker's ground-breaking book, based on the
research of his medical team, explains how emotional
processing works and outlines problematic styles of
emotional processing and their effects on quality of
life. It presents a new way of understanding emotions
and new insights into handling emotional pressures, and
is illustrated throughout with examples from patients in
psychological therapy and from everyday life. The book
is divided into 4. Part 1 - The Secret Life of Emotions:
introduces the theme of the book and shows how emotional
and rational lives are equally valid. Part 2 -
Dissolving Distress: looks at our second immune system,
emotional processing, which helps us to absorb and
break-down emotional hurts and strains. Part 3 - Healing
through Feeling: covers the expression of emotions for
good health and well-being. Part 4 - How to Sabotage
Emotional Processing: provides a manual of bad practice.
