Description
The only official workbook from beloved teacher Karla McLaren
Practical exercises to learn the messages in every feeling, deepen emotional intelligence, and live with self-compassion
Understanding our emotions can be hard! Many of us have never been taught how to work with our emotions, other than trying to avoid them when they’re unpleasant for us or others. Empathy researcher Karla McLaren teaches us a better way than repression. “All of your emotions are essential to your well-being. Each one brings you a specific kind of intelligence to guide your thoughts and actions,” she writes.
With The Language of Emotions Workbook, this innovative teacher offers practical tools and exercises to help you understand the wisdom in your emotions—so you can live with more ease. This engaging workbook distills the key points of McLaren’s beloved book The Language of Emotions (translated into 11 languages worldwide) into short, accessible exercises. You’ll learn:
• Empathic mindfulness practices to connect with yourself and your feelings, including Getting Grounded and Focused, Defining Your Boundary, Conscious Complaining, Burning Contracts, Rejuvenation, and more
• Insights and practices for each of the seventeen emotions—from anger to panic to joy
• Questions to ask yourself to understand the message behind each emotion
This essential treasury of insights and practices will help you deepen your emotional awareness and intelligence in every aspect of your life.

“The genius of Karla McLaren’s latest book can be summed up by three sentences in her introduction: ‘Your emotions don’t create problems. They arise to help you deal with problems. Learn their language, and you can change your life.’ Without a doubt, this is the workbook for better mental health, relationships that flourish, and overall life success and satisfaction.” —Anita Nowak, PhD, author of Purposeful Empathy
“The beauty of this workbook is how it orients you back to yourself, with questions and exercises designed to help you meet yourself with more understanding and acceptance. Karla McLaren’s work reminds us that emotions exist because we need them and that if we learn their language, we can revolutionize our emotional intelligence and transform our relationships. Use this workbook, and you’ll become a healthier you.” —Michael T. McRay, founder of Becoming Restoried and author of I Am Not Your Enemy
“Accessing the wisdom of our emotions is key to understanding ourselves and making better decisions. This brilliant workbook offers readers a set of easy-to-follow practices to help them receive the precious gifts and skills in their emotions.” —Vered Kogan, host of The Mindset Game® podcast and CEO of the Momentum Institute

A good overview of the purpose and meaning of our various emotions and feelings. Gives some helpful guidance.

Michelle P, Reviewer
This was a great addition to my therapy collection. It is informative and written in a language most of us can read (not all medical jargon where you need a degree in science to understand)
I found it very helpful as emotions are where I struggle most in life and they are currently taking over.
I would absolutely recommend to others.
Kimberly M, Reviewer
A great guide to really feeling and understanding your emotions.
Thank you to the publisher and netgalley for this review copy

First and foremost, thank you to NetGalley for providing me with an ARC copy in exchange for an honest review.
I am a DBT Therapist and we teach many people about getting down to the roots and accurately identifying our emotions. This may sound like an “obvious thing” however, many people struggle with truly knowing how to describe their emotions. This workbook, although at times too simplistic in my opinion, would be helpful to providing a foundation of paying mindful attention to your emotions and how they feel in your body. I do wish the book had deeper examples that held more weight, but it’s a decent book overall. I would also like to see more adjectives for primary emotions and where they fit on an “emotional thermometer
