ISBN: 9798198530027 - the space between feeling and reacting: a field guide to emotional regulation, resilience, and the quiet power of the pause (1 Ergebnisse)

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The Space Between Feeling and Reacting is a practical self-help guide to emotional regulation, resilience, and learning how to respond more intentionally instead of reacting automatically. It treats emotional growth as honest, everyday work rather than a quick fix. At its center is a simple idea: between what happens and what we do next, there is an opportunity to pause-and that pause can become stronger with practice.The book begins by exploring the physical experience of emotion and the stories we sometimes build around what we feel. From there, the chapters examine body awareness, emotional labeling, triggers and accumulated stress, the importance of developing a richer emotional vocabulary, and common patterns of distorted thinking.The middle chapters focus on practical skills: using the pause as a foundation for better responses, learning the difference between suppressing emotions and allowing yourself to experience them, and approaching boundaries as commitments to your own behavior rather than attempts to control someone else's.Later chapters explore grounding, breathing, body awareness, old emotional wounds, difficult relationship patterns, and recognizing the people or situations that consistently leave you feeling destabilized.The final chapter argues against trying to change everything at once. Instead, the book offers a simple starting point: notice what is happening in your body, pause before reacting, and put words to what you are feeling. Practice imperfectly but consistently, seek appropriate support when you need it, and allow meaningful change to develop over time.The throughline is simple: you may not be able to stop every emotional wave, but you can learn to choose what happens next.…
