Psykologi: følelser

Vores følelsesliv er en del af vores biologiske udrustning for overlevelse og livskraften bag alle vores handlinger, som udvikler os. Følelserne gør os til mennesker. Det er ikke uden problemer. Vi lever i en tidsperiode, hvor mange mennesker er hårdt ramt af stress, angst, tristhed og ensomhed.Mistrivsel rammer bredt i ungegruppen, hvilket betyder, at en langt bredere og mere mangfoldig gruppe af unge er i risiko for udsathed.

Der er opstået et kæmpe behov for at arbejde professionelt med menneskers følelsesliv.Bogen giver en indføring i grundlæggende viden og begreber om følelseslivet. Bogen tydeliggør, at det er muligt at se følelseslivet gennem en række forskellige linser – fx kunst, musik, litteratur, biologi, psykologi, sociologi, medicin og den historiske linse.Bogen gør det forståeligt, at fysisk træning, sociale relationer og lidenskaber – en stærk interesse for noget – er en forudsætning for, at mennesker (hjernen) forsat kan udvikle deres følelsesliv.Brug det, eller du mister det.Bogen beskriver følelsernes betydning og indflydelse i de professioner, hvor arbejdets fokus er på mennesker, hvad enten dette er indenfor det pædagogiske, sundhedsmæssige eller sociale felt.Bogen er en grundbog, der er relevant for professionelle og studerende og for alle faggrupper, der arbejder med menneskers krop og bevægelse, følelsesliv, kognitive funktioner og funktionsnedsættelser.Bogen er en invitation til tværfagligt arbejde.Uddrag af bogenVi lever i en tidsperiode, hvor mange mennesket er ramt af stress, angst, tristhed og ensomhed.

Have you ever known a difficult Christian (I'll be nice and call them difficult for now)? Yes, they exist and are in our midst every day. They are in our churches, our workplaces, and even in our own families. Difficult Christians are so religious, they scare away the people they're supposed to help. Instead of being living testimonies, they are living accusers who arrogantly "dog" others for not being up to their standards. Here are some ways to handle those hard to bear worshippers without having to go ballistic.

The book provides a clear understanding of what is necessary to create a sympathetic, reassuring healing environment, so that the wounded person can express their pain, process their feelings and begin to heal the devastation, fear and confusion they are going through. Saying the Right Thing is a straightforward look at the do's and don'ts of compassionate behavior.

In Hysterical, Dr Pragya Agarwal delves into history and science to determine the truth about our notions of innate differences between the male and female experience of emotions. She examines the impact this has on men and women - especially the role it has played in the subjugation of women throughout history - and imagines how a future where emotions are ungendered might look.

"It's easy to get lost in all the feels. Our emotions drive so much of what we do, say, and think, even if we don't realize it. Our response to our feelings-denying they exist, letting them lead our actions unchecked, distracting ourselves to avoid feeling them-can greatly impact our lives and those around us. Emotions are essential for everyday life, but how we navigate them in the storms of life as the storms will make or break us. In I Cry in Corners, charismatic up-and-coming pastor Chari Orozco takes the readers through the life of Jesus, examining the powerful emotional tests he faced and how he responded, from his terror in the Garden of Gethsemane to his righteous anger in the temple to his disappointment when those he loved best betrayed him. In each chapter, Chari gives readers both practical and spiritual wisdom to help them respond to emotions like Jesus did. How do we steward our emotions when those closest people fail us? We turn around and wash the feet of the ones we love. How do we face temptation? We refuse to get hangry, resist the devil, and remember that our value lies not in what we have but how we love. How do we steward our emotions with maturity when the hurt we've suffered comes from those who claim to know and love Jesus? We do what Jesus did: choose our words wisely, keep our eyes on the joy set before us, and, if necessary, flip over some tables. Our feelings are a gift from God, and through the life and struggles of Jesus, we find a blueprint for honoring your feelings without getting lost in them. Written with a wry, straight-talking, irreverent but always faithful tone, Chari effortlessly weaves together stories of the New Testament with her own insightful, humorous, and refreshingly candid anecdotes. The resulting book is an affirmation of feeling all the feels while encouraging readers to use their emotions as a catalyst for deep spiritual growth"--
