For many people, the most difficult emotional truth they face, simple as it sounds, is actually admitting when their feelings are hurt. For example, sometimes even a small rejection can really sting but we might try to sweep the hurt under the rug and deny we feel upset by it.

Persist. I wrote for 14 years before getting published and then published 2 books in 2 years which have already been translated into 14 languages.

A few years ago I scraped my knee and went to the medicine cabinet to get some antibacterial ointment and a bandage. Being a psychologist, it suddenly occurred to me as I was looking through the first aid kit, that we all get small psychological injuries--like rejection or failure--just as often as we do physical ones like cuts and scrapes--so why don't we have a medicine cabinet for psychological injuries? I envisioned a book of techniques people could use at home to treat small psychological injuries when they sustained them so they didn't fester and become larger ones.
And that is when I decided to write Emotional First Aid.
