Understanding our Emotions

I have been reading my doctors copy of SOS Help for Emotions. My wife is bi-polar and my son has Schizophrenia. This book has helped me to understand the self talk that we do to ourselves over a problem we face. Problems present themselves all the time, it is the self talk that we do that causes most of the problems with the solution. This book has helped me with both my wife and son's sickness because I can help them analize and improve thier self talk section of a problem to end with a more positive out look or one that is not as detrimental as they make it. What we think most of the times causes a problem to get worse than it should be, when we understand the problem and think it through in a positive way the out come of the problem is way less then what it could have been. I am not a doctor or psycologist, I'm just a family member that cares deeply for my family and want to make thier life less stressfull as I can.

I highly recommend this book...

For once, I have chosen a book based on other people's reviews, and I am very pleased with that decision. At the time I purchased it, I was going through a horrible break up that I was so depressed over, and always thinking the worst things "It's all my fault" "if only I was a better girlfriend" - well, after reading the book, I brought my emotions in order, and realized 'it wasn't me - I am not the one with the problem'. This is a light-hearted book, written in language that most normal people can understand, and doesn't make you feel like you are reading a college-level psychology textbook. The first 30 pages will make a difference, a notable difference, and you will start to feel better......I did.

Changed my life and helped me recover from eating disorder

I came across this book and bought it because it looked interesting. This book changed my life and is a permanent part of my favorite books ( I have so many books that I pack away the ones that I didn't like that much). I am not packing this one away!! This book teaches you how to manage your emotions- something that was never taught to me in life but is the most important part of a healthy mind and life.I refer back to the book when I feel down or when I need a reminder of the principles. I have read it over and over and I can say I would have never gotten over my overeating without it. I now know how to live life without turning to food to manage my emotions. Because life is all about how you handle it, not what happens to you. The book teaches you how to handle anything-you have the power. You don't have to feel helpless anymore.I read a review on a book once(that Im going to say for this one because its so true): I would pay $1,000 for this book. It's that wonderful. And it changed my life forever. I am forever in debt to Lynn Clark. I consider him an angel on earth.

A great help for my clients!

Of all the cognitive therapy workbooks I have attempted to use with clients, this one has made the most sense and motivated them to improve their lives. The humor, cartoons, and informal style make this enjoyable, non-threatening, and applicable to many situations. Richard Costa, MSW, LCSW
