Product Description
A new way of handling emotional pain and hurts. Based on groundbreaking psychological research. 'It's as if the body has a second immune system, an emotional system, devoted not to physical protection, but to protection from emotional hurt and trauma.' Dr Roger Baker. Is there a way of harnessing our emotions, of living in harmony with them and finding meaning and fulfilment through them? In Emotional Processing, Dr Roger Baker offers a new psychological approach. Basing his writing on twenty years of experience in therapy and the groundbreaking research he has undertaken with his research team, he explains how emotional processing works. He begins by examining the meaning and purpose of emotions, affirming the crucially important role they play in a full and healthy life. They are, he says, an advanced information system, not an opponent of rational thought. He then goes on to show how we have a sort of second immune system, able to absorb and break down emotional hurts and stress just as our first immune system deals with viruses and bacteria. When we move with this system of emotional processing, instead of blocking or hindering it, life's troubles and traumas can be so much more easily absorbed. Illustrated throughout with examples from patients in psychological therapy and from everyday life, Emotional Processing offers all of us new and important insights into the path to emotional well-being.

This has enabled me to understand the importance of our emotions and our need to understand them. It has been written in an interesting and authoritative way by an individual who clearly understands the relationship between emotions and health. A good book to read if you are wanting to understand how to respond to difficult events in your life.

I recommend this book to anyone to read. It's very well written packed full of examples of other peoples cases that are easy to relate to. Well worth a space in your bookshelf!
This book is the first place where I've seen an overview of how people process emotions. Roger Baker (now a Professor at Bournemouth University) explains a framework of how feelings are triggered, understood and reacted to. He discusses common behaviours such as suppression and rumination which prevent the model working fully.
Therefore, this is useful material to identify one's tendencies, whether you're working with a therapist or seeking greater emotional literacy. Many people could benefit from such fundamental knowledge especially if it was taught early in life i.e. before leaving school.
On the upside this is a quick read which uses many anecdotes so the key points can be summarised easily.
My only complaint is that there's no list of further reading and resources. Such is Baker's brevity that the section on expressing emotions is only a paragraph naming the various ways.
