This bookis an interactive workbook where clients, students, and everyday people can understand and find step by step solutions for regulating of their emotions. Each chapter allows the reader to find out for themselves how they would personally regulate emotions ranging from anger, resentment and jealousy to other emotions such as depression, anxiety and self-hatred. Twelve different emotions are covered in the workbook giving the reader those emotions most commonly needing regulation in everyday living. The workbook takes a holistic approach where not only one’s behavior or feelings are considered. Behavior, thoughts, feelings, beliefs, identity and the emotional climate where emotions are experienced, make up this well-rounded approach to understanding emotional regulation in your personal life. The workbook also includes strategies for professional counselors to successfully deal with client emotions, with the goal of helping to improve the client/counselor relationship. This is the perfect book for one on one conversation or used in groups for a more interactive approach to emotional regulation.
Drawing from decades of experience working in mental health, addiction, and hospital settings, Ladd has written an extraordinarily rich and useful guide to achieving emotional regulation. Emotional Regulation: Emotional Algorithms for Clients and Counselors empowers readers to systematically examine and change their emotional responses in order to bring about peaceful, fulfilling, and relationally satisfying approaches to living. By highlighting personal, emotional experience rather than diagnostic categories, the author has created a powerful guide to taking charge of life from the inside out. I highly recommend this book to clients, practitioners, and others who would like to embark on a transformative and healing emotional journey.
