If we work on the premise that in our adult lives
              we ourselves “ARE” the source of potential
              change, it becomes clear that we will need to be
              able listen to ourselves without fear and without
              judgement.

              Our emotions are a powerful, human
              commodity. They can be our strongest and
              most supportive ally in life, or they can disable
              us, leaving us feeling blocked or at worst, out
              of control and in pieces.

              In my experience, it is never the emotion itself
              that’s the problem, it’s our relationship to it and
              our ability to listen to this information and
              choose what we do with it that will make the
              difference between a challenging experience
              being a break through, rather than a break
              down, a challenge or a crisis.

              I know that my deepening ability to listen to my
              emotions and to consider every emotional state
              that I feel as “valuable information” has created
              a way of living that in itself has been completely
              life changing.

              This is the first in a series of books about the
              intelligence of our emotions, each written to
              support and enable deepening layers of
              relational growth and understanding.
