About this listen

We are all touched at some point by the dark emotions of grief, fear, or despair. In an age of global threat, these emotions have become widespread and overwhelming. While conventional wisdom warns us of the harmful effects of "negative" emotions, this revolutionary book offers a more hopeful view: there is a redemptive power in our worst feelings. Seasoned psychotherapist Miriam Greenspan argues that it's the avoidance and denial of the dark emotions that results in the escalating psychological disorders of our time: depression, anxiety, addiction, psychic numbing, and irrational violence. And she shows us how to trust the wisdom of the dark emotions to guide, heal, and transform our lives and our world.

Too often we are taught to push away difficult emotions, to disconnect from what we feel, more so (I feel) for men. This helps bring the 'bad' (there is no good or bad) feelings back to being part of our narrative of life. A wonderful book, having trained as a somatic psychotherapist (but not practicing) this book is so valid and more so these days with the gloom in the world. I loved her quote "feel it to heal it"! So true.

Excellent truth
