Emotional First Aid

Dominique Book Review, Parenting and Kids Emotional Health and Wellbeing

Emotional First Aid: Practical Strategies for Treating Failure, Rejection, Guilt, and Other Everyday Psychological Injuries by Guy Winch is a book that covers all the emotional problems which we may face at different stages of our lives.

• Rejection
• Loneliness
• Lost and Trauma
• Guilt
• Rumination
• Failure
• Low Self-Esteem

In each chapter suggested treatments are given to help you survive the emotional hurt which you had gone through.  Each treatment is tailored to the different degrees of “suffering” which you had  to endure under the different circumstances.  Many examples are given on how to administer the “medication”  and scenarios on which it would be most effective in.

My thoughts

As an adult I have experience one or more of the different emotional problems listed above. During those times it was really very painful getting through all the difficult emotions which came flooding through your mind when the catastrophe occurred.

It would certainly be useful if I had this book back them as it would certainly help to hasten the process of “healing” and getting back being normal and positive about oneself.

Something these negative thoughts which we have are self inflicted and they get us into a rut. They sabotage our well-being and we need to be aware of the danger signals when it occurs to prevent ourselves from falling into a spiral.

I certainly recommend that you get a copy of this book to read.
