Review Quotes
"As co-founder of The EFT Centre, Trainer, Mentor and Practitioner, to mention a few hats, I am always looking for new and better ways to explain the mind-body connection and teach my students and clients how to connect, or indeed reconnect, with their bodies and their feelings. Nearly two decades of searching for a palatable and practical answer have taught me three things are needed. Firstly, my attention needs to be grabbed and held on to. Secondly I need some humour, while thirdly the elusive resource needs to be serious but not patronising. I can barely convey my pleasure to discover this book is all of these. Thor and Nicki have absolutely nailed it with First Aid for Feelings." Sue Beer (She/her), EFT Founding Master
"I've been working for a number of years with a very basic concept of creating a self-care first aid kit with my patients, especially as we think about ending our work and for myself. This is much more in-depth and, therefore, much more helpful; huge potential for insight. I can see I'll be adding lots of things to my own First Aid Kit for Feelings.
"This manual offers a really clear and useful guide to explore and expand awareness of what we are experiencing, what we find comforting in times of distress and whether we can respond with curiosity and compassion to ourselves. By making use of emotion and logic in combination, it helps us to move from a place of stuckness into psychological awareness through to more beneficial decision making.
"I like the distinction between 'containing' and 'completing' feelings and the idea of moving from resignation through to acceptance or surrender. I experienced a shift when I experimented with focusing on what's inside/outside my sphere of influence. I found the prompts to getting curious helpful as a guide rather than ruminating and potentially getting stuck." Luan Baines-Ball (They/them) Psychotherapist
"The most startling message of First Aid for Feelings is that ALL feelings are information. Getting curious about feelings and asking, "Is it helpful?" immediately takes us out of an emotional state and into a more logical, enquiring one. From there, we can become detectives into our own way of dealing with feelings and find ways to change unhelpful patterns of behaviour.
"This seemingly simple technique is explained through memorable case studies that reinforce the theory and make it easy to recall helpful techniques so that effective self-care is always accessible whenever and wherever we need it." Ann Hawkins (She/her) Business Advisor and Mentor
