Not everyone finds it easy to say what they feel, or even know what they feel. Familiarity with emotion helps us understand the true value of anger as a force for change in the face of so much injustice in the world, it emboldens us to be honest with those we love and care for when it would be far more comfortable to keep quiet, it teaches us the power of love as a transformative emotion, that vulnerability is to be cherished, never despised, and that opportunities to experience joy and gratitude present themselves most days of our lives. In Trusting the Heart, Anne Dickson brings a wealth of experience to helping us understand and process our feelings. She explains how we can live with and learn from our feelings more productively, and above all makes clear that emotion is part of everyday life and need not be seen as a problem.
