Understanding Your 7 Emotions explains how emotions help us to respond to the world around us and are fundamental to our existence.

The book provides a detailed understanding of the main human emotions – fear, sadness, anger, disgust, guilt, shame and happiness – showing how to live with them and how to resolve problems with them. Each of the seven chapters also includes an ‘emotional trap’ to highlight what happens when we get stuck responding in unhelpful ways and explains how to get out of the trap. Grounded in emotion science and cognitive behavioural therapy, the book provides a powerful alternative to mental health diagnosis. Examples and exercises are provided throughout to help apply the ideas in everyday life and achieve health and happiness.

This easy-to-read guide will help anybody who is interested in emotions or is struggling with common mental health problems to better understand how emotions work and improve their own and others' mental health and emotional wellbeing. It will also be an invaluable resource to those working in the caring professions.

Reviews for Understanding Your 7 Emotions: CBT for Everyday Emotions and Common Mental Health Problems

'This is an excellent book. It is accessible and written in common-sense language, yet it's evidence-base is broad and scientifically sound. Dr Howells has managed to cut through those aspects of mental health care that can mystify and pathologise, to focus on the central issue that matters most to us all: how we and those we work with can live rich, full and healthy emotional lives.' Peter Cairns, Clinical Psychologist, Norfolk UK. Given the importance of our emotional life to our sense of wellbeing and resilience it's surprising we give so little thought to understanding our feelings and how they work. This book, based on the emerging field of emotion science, will go a long way in helping anybody, especially young people, learn how to read their feelings differently, have new ways of coping with difficult emotions and accessing the positive ones. Steve Killick, Consultant Clinical Psychologist, Director of 'Feelings are Funny Things' and author of 'Emotional Literacy at the Heart of the School Ethos'
