The authors of this volume investigate the role of emotion in the development and maintenance of psychological problems, and in effecting psychological change. They examine emotion as it is conceptualized and used in three of the most widely practiced approaches today--psychodynamic, cognitive behavior, and emotion-focused psychotherapy. In each chapter, the authors discuss the impact of emotion on child development and learning, the relationship between emotion and motivation, and the ways in which emotion can be harnessed in treatment to improve psychological functioning and strengthen interpersonal relationships. Clinical vignettes show readers how to arouse, identify, and channel emotions in therapy, while also utilizing emotion to develop and maintain an effective therapeutic alliance.

Do you find yourself to be a slave to your emotions? Do you want to continue to find yourself tossed from feeling to feeling as you interact with other people? You do not have to be controlled by those emotions any longer-in fact, you can take control of them yourself. Ultimately, emotional intelligence and cognitive behavioral therapy are two different methods that are used for emotional regulation-the ability to control the reaction to your emotions that you have instinctively. With the ability to regulate, you are able to avoid screaming at people when you are angry or hurting people when you are frustrated. The skills of emotional regulation are critical if you wish to be successful with other people, and developing these skills can be a bit of a challenge if you do not know where to start. However, Emotional Intelligence & Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is here to help. In reading this book, you will find that becoming capable of controlling your emotions does not have to be as difficult as it may sound. Anyone can learn how to control their emotions if they are willing to go through the effort to do so, and if you find that you are willing to, try this book. As you read through it, you will be introduced to both emotional intelligence and cognitive behavioral therapy, two such techniques that help you regulate your emotions. Emotional intelligence promises success if you master the skills within it whereas CBT offers people peace of mind and knowledge of how best to control their own thought processes. Within this book, you will find: ● A working definition of both emotional intelligence and cognitive behavioral therapy ● Why emotional intelligence is so critical and how it directly influences every aspect of life ● The pillars of emotional intelligence and the skills each entails ● Emotional intelligence as it relates to the narcissist ● How CBT took the best of both cognitive therapy and behavioral therapy to create an entirely new school of therapy ● A working guide of anxiety, depression, insomnia, and anger, and how to deal with all of them using CBT-approved methods ● How to develop social skills that will help you thrive in any situation that you find yourself in ● AND MORE!

Do you find yourself lashing out explosively in anger over everything and at everyone? Do you frequently experience panic attacks striking without warning? If so, then read on… The fact is, we have all found ourselves being overcome by overwhelming emotions at some point in our life. However, when emotionally thrown off balance by these emotions, it is our primary responsibility to take conscious and intentional steps toward regaining our footing to find relief as quickly as possible, and to prevent any further damage to our overall mental health and wellbeing.

Have a better understanding of what CBT means. 2. Understand how your thoughts determine your feelings and behaviors. 3. Discover science-backed research why CBT is a very effective therapeutic option in the treatment of depression, anxiety, anger, and panic attacks. 4.
