Do you want the ability to resolve your issues? To create a working harmony uniting mind, body, and emotion? Are you looking to discover your essential nature? Perhaps you’ve read countless books and articles on overcoming inner conflict, but you’re still seeking something that works. What if, despite all your efforts, a key ingredient to success has been missing? A fundamentally different approach to self-development, The Emotion Solution challenges our culture’s belief that we should shun the full range of our emotions. Rejecting this notion, gestalt therapist and social worker Fred Carlisle undertook years of research and experimentation to explore the emotions we usually avoid. What he uncovered has the remarkable power to rapidly resolve inner turmoil through expanding consciousness.
A self-development practice in its own right, The Emotion Solution can also be used in tandem with virtually any traditional spiritual or goal-oriented practice to achieve astonishing results.
I love this book. For me it's the missing piece for accepting and processing emotions. The main difference in this book is that you are encouraged to embrace emotional energy formerly seen as negative. This lead to a discussion with my wife about whether reaccessing an event fully is necessary for processing. She thinks not. We shall see. The ultimate goal of this book is reintegration of blocked energies leading to better mental alignment and health. I've done some of the work and made some significant shifts. Then again, I've been working on this stuff for years. So this might be too advanced for some. Nevertheless, a fantastic resource for when the time is right.
