Emotional Freedom: Liberate Yourself from Negative Emotions and Transform Your Life
by Judith Orloff

"Emotional Freedom." At first glance of the title, I thought, nah, not interested. I had been there, done that after reading several Hay House authors on the subject of emotions. I thought I'd conquered them and wasn't at all interested in dredging up the same old stories. I thought, "What could Dr. Judith Orloff teach me that I didn't already learn from Debbie Ford, Sonia Choquette and Abraham-Hicks?"

Out of curiosity, I picked it up anyway. To my surprise, Dr. Orloff filled in the blanks I didn't know I had, gaps in my understanding of my emotions and how to transform them. For one thing, emotions are not so much to be conquered, but to be listened to and perhaps countered. Dr. Orloff shows how do to that by describing seven transformations that can lead to a better life.

Dr. Orloff's seven transformations will show you how to turn fear, frustration, loneliness, worry, depression, jealousy and anger into courage, patience, connectedness, inner calm, hope, self-esteem and compassion. Yes, a tall order that she delivers with the help of her intuition and personal insight as well as her years of experience as a psychiatrist. Through her stories, both personal and professional, Dr. Orloff shows how to turn any negative emotion into a positive one. And more so, she shows us the beauty in the message of any challenge we face. While reading this book, I was faced with a loved one who was in a negative tailspin. While dealing with the negativity and reading the book at the same time, I received moment-by-moment help with the challenge I faced trying to stay positive and keep from being sucked into the negativity of the moments. Dr. Orloff, is an empath who knows first hand how to protect herself from negativity. She also knows how to turn her own negative thoughts into positive ones. In "Emotional Freedom," she shows us how to do it.

If you need help with just one transformation or all seven, you will find it in "Emotional Freedom." Thank you, Dr. Orloff for writing this book. It has helped me understand myself, and others around me, a little bit more.
