“Emotional Growth” is a self-help workbook for people who want to enhance the quality of their emotional life by learning purposeful skills. It offers guidance so they can apply different skills to their particular issues. This workbook offers three additional features: 1. A common sense view that troubling feelings are an early warning system. They alert you to your unique way of interpreting difficult life experiences but only if you attend to them. 2. A realistic discussion of the long term benefits of sustained skill development, a topic not found in most self-help books. 3. Opportunities to respond to the many skill-development exercises found throughout the book. I have two goals for this book: 1. To empower readers by providing them with tools for preventing troubling feelings from growing 2. To show how understanding emotional growth offers hope, confidence and peace of mind.
