As we all know, people's minds are as sick and hurt as their bodies. Usually, we pay attention to physical injuries that can be seen by the naked eye. Most people have a small first-aid medicine box at home, which contains bandages, ointments, painkillers and so on. If the skin is broken, the wound should be cleaned first and then bandaged with medicine. If the bone is broken, plaster should be used to correct the dislocation of the bone, and so on. Of course, we will not ignore it and make the wound infection worse. But when we are hurt emotionally, this small medicine box is empty. And this book just puts band-AIDS, antibacterial drugs, ice packs and antipyretics into our small psychological medicine box.

In life, when we encounter emotional problems, friends and relatives around us can hardly empathize with you. Most people will say, "What's the big deal? Get over it "and" You think too much! " "Everything will pass", but no one tells you how to deal with your emotions. Many parents do the same in their children's education, and even deny their children's feelings.

The book Emotional First Aid lists seven common psychological injuries in our lives:

Rejection: Emotional injury and friction injury in daily life

Loneliness: the "weakness" of interpersonal relationship

Loss: advance with injury

Guilt: the poison of the emotional system

Meditation: Re-uncover the emotional scars of scars.

Failure: How an emotional "cold" develops into a psychological "pneumonia"

Inferiority: weakening your emotional immune system

The author lists many interesting and particularly representative cases and stories about these seven emotions in the book, which makes it easy for us to find the shadow of our emotions in the book. Watching how these emotions develop and evolve will make people wake up and feel like this. The advice given in the book is really useful and can be operated immediately, which can help us solve most emotional problems.

This is a good book worth reading, everyone can use it together, everyone needs to be healed, everyone can be healed, we are our best healers …
