It seems like more than ever before, we are being assaulted by emotions from every different direction, whether it be financial security in a troubling economy, the increased difficulty of finding perfect balance in our relationships, a stressful work environment, or even with the kids acting out. Clinical psychologist Guy Winch recognizes the harm that can be done by dealing with the cumulative effects of stress on the body and mind, and he has come forth to offer relief in the form of Emotional First Aid. In the book, he discusses the seven most common psychological injuries daily life can cause, including rejection, loneliness, guilt, failure, low self-esteem, loss, guilt and rumination, and offers well researched and easy to administer (even to kids!) treatments to soothe the pain and keep things from getting worse! In addition to holding a doctorate in clinical psychology and having a private practice in Manhatten, Winch is a member of the American Psychological Association and an in-demand keynote speaker.
