Take Charge of your Emotions By Dr.Linda Solie

Respected Christian Psychologist Helps Readers Find Relief from Emotional Pain

Linda J. Solie, a psychologist who has been in private practice for more than 20 years, says everyone can benefit from taking charge of their emotional health. She gives readers the skills to take control of their thoughts and behaviors by first identifying the problem thinking that creates painful feelings and undesirable conduct. Then using a seven-step process, she helps them change their feelings and behavior. Throughout the book the seven steps are applied to a variety of situations, both short term--such as a distressing mood--and longer term, including significant longstanding emotional pain. Grounded in faith, the reader's relationship with Jesus is always central to the process.

As William Backus pioneered a generation ago with Telling Yourself the Truth (more than 700,000 sold), Solie will reach thousands of readers who don't have easy access to mental health providers or can't afford them. Pastors and lay counselors will also find this an excellent resource to use and recommend.

This book is very hard to read, it is full of good information but it is very time consuming to read. It is laid out in such a way you really have to take your time reading it. Make sure to have your Bible beside you when you are reading this book and look up every scripture as you are reading it.

It was not a fix it book so if that is what you want open your Bible and start reading and pray a lot.

I had a very hard time with this book, I tried to devote time to it but I was just not able to get anything from it.

The author wants you to write down your feelings and have self talks daily about your situations.

It may be a book for you if you have a lot of time to devote to it . If you are looking for a self help book with out giving it to the Lord and you think reading a book can fix your emotional problems, then maybe give this book a try.

I gave this book three stars.

I was given a copy of this book by the publisher for my honest review.
