How to Lose Control and Gain Emotional Freedom
Posted: Wed Sep 02, 2015 1:23 pm
I'm reading two new books this week: "Fail, Fail Again, Fail Better " by Pema Chodron (Sounds True, Boulder CO 80306) and "How to Lose Control and Gain Emotional Freedom: Embracing the "Dark Emotions" through Integrative Mindful Exposure" by Jerry Duvinsky (CreateSpace, South Charleston, SC 2012).
Both books are healing and helpful to me. I've finished Pema Chodron's and am working my way through "How to Lose Control and Gain Emotional Freedom." What I'm finding the most useful is that these books help me accept myself as I am right here and right now, whatever I'm feeling, whatever I've done or not done.
One caution with "How to Lose Control" is that for me, my own "kindfulness" is an absolute necessity! However I'm working with my emotions, I need to stick with a solid intention of Being Kind to myself.
