Description
Escaping the Emotional Roller Coaster will help readers understand and manage their emotional responses to situations. Many of us feel like our emotions are controlling us and we can’t seem to dial them back. Whether you’ve reacted in ways that you’ve later regretted, or you simply struggle to understand why you’re feeling the way you are, this is the book you’ve been waiting for.
Drawing on her years of experience as a clinical psychologist, Dr Zurita Ona provides a clear and simple roadmap for every ‘super-feeler’. Using the principles of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) as well as aspects of positive psychology, you will learn to implement values-based behavior. Along the way, you will become adept at skills such as self-acceptance, forgiveness, compassion, mindfulness, and conflict resolution.
Super-feelers will discover that they are more than their emotions and that no matter how intense the situation, they can always choose to act in a way that is consistent with their personal values, in order to experience fulfilling, loving and caring relationships. If you want to stop feeling like you’re at the mercy of your emotions, Escaping the Emotional Roller Coaster is the guide for you.

The author, a clinical psychologist, addresses the unique challenges faced by people she calls “super feelers,” those who “are wired to experience… emotions at a very intense level.” She gives examples of situations experienced by her clients, and tells how the ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) technique can be helpful. The writing style is very down-to-earth, and there’s a good balance between practical and scientific information.
I’ve always said that I feel things 10x stronger than most. I’ve read countless books to try to manage them. This is the first time I was introduced to ACT; a helpful method. What I love about this book is that it demonstrates practical steps I can use on a daily basis.
