"What if every feeling-even shame and anxiety-brought you vital information and wisdom? Emotions-especially the unwanted and dishonored ones-hold a tremendous amount of energy. We've all seen what happens when we repress or recklessly express them. In this new edition of The Language of Emotions, researcher and educator Karla McLaren takes readers much deeper than naming or managing our feelings-she teaches us to honor them, reflect on their questions, and incorporate their wisdom into our lives.

Enhanced through more than ten years of research and teaching, this edition offers a time-tested emotional guidebook. The first part teaches readers how to safely feel and identify emotions; practices for working with feelings, including setting boundaries, grounding, and conscious complaining; and four keys to emotional genius-new to this edition. The second part of the book features a chapter on each emotion-sharing its unique messages, its questions, and practices for understanding its insights. This edition features a new chapter on anxiety, a new exploration of loneliness, and much more.

Learning the language of our emotions can deepen our self-understanding, improve our intuition, and enhance our relationships. As the book makes clear, ""emotions don't cause problems-they arise to help us deal with our problems. Learn their language and you can change your life."""

Reviews for The Language of Emotions: What Your Feelings Are Trying to Tell You

Karla McLaren's revised and updated book, The Language of Emotions, presents a model for understanding emotions and explores the positive aspects of anxiety. Karla uses her lived experience of trauma to inform her readers in ways that may enable them to achieve the emotional understanding necessary to learn from and move beyond their past. There is no doubt that Karla's passion to help her readers understand emotions, and provide them with useful tools to do so, makes this new edition of her book a gift for those who are suffering from or grappling with what they feel. --Mary Lamia, PhD, author of Grief Isn't Something to Get Over Karla McLaren's book The Language of Emotions is the first I will recommend to survivors of traumatic and abusive environments and relationships. Karla's knowledge of how to understand emotions and engage with them in a positive and healing way is an invaluable resource. --Janja Lalich, PhD, author of Take Back Your Life Karla McLaren's unique, empathic view of emotions surprisingly revalues even the most 'negative' emotions and opens pathways to understanding the depths of the human soul. --Michael Meade, author of The World Behind the World and The Water of Life This book changed the way I relate to others, and to myself, forever. --Gavin de Becker, author of The Gift of Fear
