The Language of Emotions

In The Language of Emotions: What Your Feelings Are Trying to Tell You, author Karla McLaren delves deep into the realm of emotions, offering readers profound insights into the messages and wisdom they carry. In this revised and updated edition, McLaren takes readers beyond simply naming or managing emotions; she teaches them to honor their feelings, reflect on their questions, and integrate their wisdom into their lives.

Drawing from over ten years of research and teaching, McLaren presents a comprehensive emotional guidebook that explores the role of emotions in our lives. The book is divided into two parts: the first part focuses on safely feeling and identifying emotions, along with practices for working with feelings such as setting boundaries and grounding techniques. Additionally, McLaren introduces four keys to emotional genius in this edition.

The second part of the book features a chapter dedicated to each emotion, where McLaren shares their unique messages, questions, and insights. This edition includes a new chapter on anxiety and an exploration of loneliness, providing fresh perspectives on these emotions. Through McLaren's compassionate and practical guidance, readers will learn to deepen their self-understanding, improve their intuition, and enhance their relationships by learning the language of their emotions.

With insights and practices for decoding the messages carried by each emotion, The Language of Emotions: What Your Feelings Are Trying to Tell You, empowers readers to transform their lives by embracing the wisdom inherent in their feelings. As McLaren emphasizes, emotions aren't problems to be solved; they are invaluable sources of vitality, personal growth, and profound healing when we learn to understand and honor their language.
