Synopsis

The only official workbook from beloved teacher Karla McLaren

Practical exercises to learn the messages in every feeling, deepen emotional intelligence, and live with self-compassion

Understanding our emotions can be hard! Many of us have never been taught how to work with our emotions, other than trying to avoid them when they’re unpleasant for us or others. Empathy researcher Karla McLaren teaches us a better way than repression. “All of your emotions are essential to your well-being. Each one brings you a specific kind of intelligence to guide your thoughts and actions,” she writes.

With The Language of Emotions Workbook, this innovative teacher offers practical tools and exercises to help you understand the wisdom in your emotions―so you can live with more ease. This engaging workbook distills the key points of McLaren’s beloved book The Language of Emotions (translated into 11 languages worldwide) into short, accessible exercises. You’ll learn:

• Empathic mindfulness practices to connect with yourself and your feelings, including Getting Grounded and Focused, Defining Your Boundary, Conscious Complaining, Burning Contracts, Rejuvenation, and more
• Insights and practices for each of the seventeen emotions―from anger to panic to joy
• Questions to ask yourself to understand the message behind each emotion

This essential treasury of insights and practices will help you deepen your emotional awareness and intelligence in every aspect of your life.
