The chaos around and within me was to complex to cope with. Without really noticing I pushed my feelings down and away and emotion after emotion was shut off. And then the day came when I felt safe and secure enough to want to smile and I noticed that I lost the ability to freely feel. Sometimes we need to shut down or turn off our emotions. It might be our way to make it through the day, our way to stay sane and keep ourselves safe. Almost everyone does it at some point in their lives. Yet some of us have felt the need to tune out for long periods of time. It may be for months, or even years. This book on emotions and feelings is created as a guide to everybody and anybody who has shut down or lost their internal navigation system in life. Fifteen writers open-heartedly share their experiences and perspectives on anger, freedom, support, vulnerability, hope, shame, peace, fear, joy, grief, courage, homecoming and the language of emotions. This is not about the how and why we lose our feelings. This is an invitation to relearn, re-connect and recognize our feelings. The Book of Emotions is a guide back to your true self. show more
