MUST READ !!!

An excellent book! After having gone through emotional trauma myself this book has helped me understand my feelings better. It showed me a way to work with my emotions rather than fighting or trying to suppress them. I found the easy to follow exercises very effective.I say this book is a MUST READ.

Getting To Know Me, Again

I'm amazed at how one little book (246 pages), can make such a big difference! Dr. Jeanne Segal is brilliant. Her program, "Raising Your Emotional Intelligence, A Practical Guide" consists of simple techniques, easy to follow processes and quizzes. At first, I thought, "will these quizzes ever stop?" After doing a few of them, I realized the quizzes were integral because they are ideal warm ups for getting in touch with how one feels. Here are two of the quizzes' titles; "Home Is Where the Heart Is - Or Is It?" and "Can You Fit in Without Falling Apart?" Just to give you a clue, this is a compelling and provocative book.

Other parts of the program work on the body and mind connection. There's a big emphasis on becoming attuned to the messages that our bodies deliver. I came to realize how my body had become a hostage to my own suppressed feelings. There are breathing and focusing exercises aimed to reacquaint one with parts of the body. I found that by doing these simple breathing exercises daily, I experienced a brighter focus in my work!

By following her techniques I was able to identify and release some deeply held feelings of abandonment and sadness. I'm astounded at how much energy I've had as a result! How does one place a value on that?

This is a book that I'll keep handy for a long time. As Dr. Segal writes, it takes time for new behaviors to become healthy habits. It's been well worth my time and effort. What a wonderful book. Thank you Dr. Segal. I highly recommend it.

Employing exercises, self-tests, case studies, and step-by-step instructions, Segal shows readers how to listen to their intuition and their body's messages, make those signals part of their decision-making process, and thus realize the full benefit of their emotional resources.
