Reader’s Experiences:
“An incredibly healing, intimate and insightful book. The five authors who assembled this collection of writings unflinchingly bare themselves on the page, both the trauma and heartbreak they’ve endured and the paths they’ve followed - with emotional literacy and flexibility as their essential tools - to come back to greater wholeness. I consider myself to be pretty self-aware, but it wasn’t until I got to middle age that I learned the power of naming and fully feeling my *all* of my emotions as key to a greater peace, and of how expressing emotions to myself and to the people I love, or allowing them to express their emotions to me, with no judgment, is such a gift. How I wish I had had this information 30 years ago! In modeling for us how to interpret emotions as information, this affirming book, which has a million different entry points, is a worthy companion for anyone striving to better understand what moves them, aggrieves them, angers them and fires them up.”

“This book gave me permission and a road map. There has been no greater key to my development as a male than the journey to uncover my emotions and the impact they have on my life. This book gave me permission and a road map to navigate that journey.

“Discover the hidden treasures of your emotions. Our emotions can feel like a bad neighbourhood- one it's not safe to go into. When we steer clear of our emotions we miss out on the powerful truths about ourselves and our lives that are hidden there. These courageous women show the way and give us the Permission Slips we need to go into the neighbourhood and find it's not bad after all. In their safe hands you will discover the hidden treasures of your emotions.”
~ M.M. Canada
“‘Your feelings are not too much’ is a message that encourages brave action and leads us toward physical as well as mental health. This is the radical yet perhaps seemingly simple guidance of this collectively written book: ‘take a moment - there's nothing more to do with the emotional charge you're experiencing than to be with it.’ Such presence to ourselves creates shifts beyond suffering and into wisdom. In wisdom we have power. The five authors have dared to spread this forward.
