Dr. Judith Orloff, an Assistant Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at UCLA, has written a new book, “Emotional Freedom: Liberate Yourself From Negative Emotions and Transform Your Life.” She describes the book as “a guide to staying brave and positive during stressful times.”
Dr. Orloff says, “Emotional freedom is being able to transform negative emotions into positive ones and not be reactive.”
In her book, “Emotional Freedom,” she combines “traditional psychiatry with spirituality, emotions and intuition to help us understand ourselves better.” The book presents practical ways to empower one’s emotional life and offers advice on how to face fear, how to stop absorbing the emotions of others, and how to communicate with compassion.
Borrowing from chapter one of her book, Dr. Orloff’s web site includes a 20 question quiz to help assess your level of emotional freedom. Dr. Orloff says, “Emotional freedom isn’t some place you arrive at and just stay there. It’s an ongoing blossoming.”
