Too much emotion

Too much emotion

How we control our emotions and not the other way around

A minor annoyance can ruin your day, and self-doubt can lead to endless brooding. Instead of letting these feelings pass, we analyse and process them in the hope that we will feel better. However, psychotherapist Gitta Jacob warns that this often achieves the opposite. Thinking too much about emotions such as anger, fear or doubt can intensify them or even create them in the first place. This book shows ways out of over-emotionalisation: anyone who understands how feelings work can deal with them more calmly. • Strategies for better emotion regulation, e.g. for anger, stress and anxiety • Help in emotionally difficult situations such as relationship conflicts and everyday encounters • With exercises suitable for everyday use
