My Intense Emotions Handbook: Manage Your Emotions and Connect Better with Others

by Sue Knowles, Bridie Gallagher, Hannah Bromley

This is a guide to the emotional and interpersonal issues you may encounter as a young adult, packed with advice and real-life stories of hope and resilience from people in similar situations. This book will help you to gain an understanding of the influence of your early emotional experiences, and share tried-and-tested strategies, drawing on a range of psychological approaches and evidence-based strategies.

This book also looks at how emotions can affect our relationships, with a focus on building empathy for others, getting what you want out of friendships and relationships and dealing with the hard parts like boundaries and saying no, making amends when needed, and recognising and breaking problematic relationship patterns.

With personal stories and resources throughout, this is a guide to refer to as little or often as you like, helping you to understand your emotions and find the strategies that work best for you.

Super helpful in teaching about strong emotions, thoughts and feelings and how to deal with them in a constructive way. Compliments ways to maintaining relationships with friends and family members too.

Just what i needed when i needed it…

I know its a book written for teens, but it brings a lot of important topics together in a easy to read fashion which feels non-judgemental and paves the way to live and understand yourself better. I had tried similar books for adults, but found these to be a bit scientific when trying to find the way forward.

Some of the chapters were so useful for dipping in and out if that i am looking to buy the book for useful bits in the future.
