About this title: This book offers a surprising new prescription for coping with depression and anxiety, as well as other painful emotional states: don't try to get rid of them. In Healing Through The Dark Emotions, Miriam Greenspan shows us that there's something good in so-called 'bad' feelings, if we would only stop and listen to them. She explains why learning to attend, befriend, and surrender to emotional pain actually leads to lasting relief, greater wisdom, and a deep sense of fulfilment.

"This is worth reading, especially the parts about compassion for the world and ecology. The author made a conscious decision to leave anger out, so she could write an additional book. Since I have a problem with anger, I miss this part."
"This is a remarkable book! (recommended by Annie, facilitator for Process Painting workshop). Turns on its ear the current culture viewpoint, including psychotherapy, about the value of "dark" emotions, esp grief, despair and fear. That emotions are felt in the body, not the mind. And she provides "how to" advice on how to work with them, rather than trying to get rid of them. How they can become toxic when you push them away. I think this will be a turning point book for me. An ongoing, pick-up when you need it, sort of book."
"I'm reading to inform my writing more than my life (to the extent those things can be separated), but I'm finding it useful in both realms. Greenspan is deeply intelligent."
"This book shines a light on the dark emotions that we as a society view as negative: fear, grief, despair, as well as their companion emotions like anger. We all experience these feelings, but we really are trained to ignore them, bury them, but certainly not listen to and experience them fully. We all live in a world of violence and global challenge, but we are also told to feel good and be happy. This book honors all the parts of the Self and the wisdom of your emotions. It also reminds me of The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle."
