Emotional First Aid

Katelyn Broad

This book is an important book that I think everyone could benefit from. We could all use emotional first aid sometimes and it helps give you a clear picture of what could be causing the problems and how to go about fixing them. It also lets you know when you need the help of a professional. This is a book that I know I will be going back to time and time again.

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. 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 real-life examples, practicing psychologist Guy Winch, Ph.D. offers specific step-by-step treatments that are fast, simple, and effective.
