Emotional First Aid: Healing Rejection, Guilt, Failure, and Other Everyday Hurts
Heal small emotional injuries before they become big ones.
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. 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.
