Managing Your Emotions

Therapy from the Quran and Sunnah #2

by Feryad A. Hussain

This work is an Islamically-centred self-help approach to managing difficult emotions experienced by most, if not all, of us due to the pressures and demands we face in our modern, complex society. Using examples from her clinical experience with patients, the author presents a wide range of emotions – including anger, sadness, and fear – to connect her ideas to key therapeutic approaches, to provide an Islamic framework for their implementation in personal character development. She explains how the simplicity and clarity of this methodology nurtures and strengthens our faith, and it is faith that sets us free.

Overall I thought this was a pretty good book. It is written by a psychologist, but there isn't a ton of jargon in it to make it hard to read. I felt in many places like she was speaking directly to me. Insha Allah I'll be able to use some of the practical advice given in this book to work on my emotional issues.
