CONSTRUCTIVE WALLOWING is the first book to cut right to the chase, teaching readers how to accept and feel their feelings with self-compassion for greater emotional health and wellbeing.. while making them laugh from time to time.

It's tempting to turn away from menacing, uncomfortable feelings like anger, grief, or regret; but ignoring them makes them fester and linger. By learning to accept and embrace rather than suppress difficult feelings, readers keep their sense of personal power and gain greater understanding and ultimately esteem for themselves. Feeling bad can actually lead to feeling better, faster! This practical book, full of practical insight, humour and compassion will enable readers to get in touch with their whole self, and live fuller, happier lives.

Contents include how to:

Escape from the trap of self-criticism by taking your own side

Use the T-R-U-T-H Technique to get out from under bad feelings, fast

Neutralize old emotions that zap your energy and undermine your happiness

Allow painful feelings to let go of you, instead of the other way around

Break long-standing relationship patterns by healing old wounds

Build a healthier, more loving relationship with the most important person in your life - you!

Reviews for Constructive Wallowing: How to Beat Bad Feelings by Letting Yourself Have Them

The word wallowing is often assumed to be negative and critical. We fear that if we allow ourselves to wallow in emotions we label bad , such as fear, anger, envy, disappointment or frustration, they will become bigger and engulf us completely. But in her excellent book, Constructive Wallowing, psychotherapist Tina Gilbertson shows us that the opposite is true: allowing ourselves to feel each emotion as it arises is the quickest way to shift and let it go completely. Gilbertson guides us safely and compassionately through this process, teaching new skills that will transform our experience from repression and struggle to peace and authenticity -- Jacqui Marson, chartered psychologist and author of The Curse of Lovely: How to break free from the demands of others and learn to say no
