Making Peace with Emotions

A Restorative Approach to Emotional Health

Marshall Bolin talks about recovering from problems with anxiety, depression, anger, and relationship issues. He shares the writings of his therapist, the late author and psychologist Amr Barrada.

Amr Barrada's approach to recovery involves making peace with emotions instead of trying to change or eliminate them. As human beings our emotions serve a vital, adaptive purpose. However, we live in a world where emotions are seen as problems in themselves, and when we try to get rid of them we cut ourselves off from the beneficial role they play in our lives.

Emotional problems are complex, but it is possible to recover from them.
