About this eBook

Prescriptive and unique, Emotional First Aid is essential reading for anyone looking to become more resilient, build self-esteem, and let go of the hurts and hang-ups that are holding them back.
 
We all sustain emotional wounds. Failure, guilt, rejection, and loss are as much a part of life as the occasional scraped elbow. But while we typically bandage a cut or ice a sprained ankle, our first aid kit for emotional injuries is not just understocked—it’s nonexistent.

Fortunately, there is such a thing as mental first aid for battered emotions. Drawing on the latest scientific research and using real-life examples, practicing psychologist Guy Winch, Ph.D. offers specific step-by-step treatments that are fast, simple, and effective.

Ratings and reviews

It's been years after i read this book and i feel it is as good as gold :) I suggest to skim through the causes and look for remedy if u r really feeling bad

Honestly has helped me a lot. I would recommended this for anyone who has that shadow of trauma that's gotten a bit to long.

Very nice. The author gives good examples in daily life.
