Respected Christian Psychologist Helps Readers Find Relief from Emotional Pain

Linda J. Solie, a psychologist who has been in private practice for more than 20 years, says everyone can benefit from taking charge of their emotional health. She gives readers the skills to take control of their thoughts and behaviors by first identifying the problem thinking that creates painful feelings and undesirable conduct. Then using a seven-step process, she helps them change their feelings and behavior. Throughout the book the seven steps are applied to a variety of situations, both short term--such as a distressing mood--and longer term, including significant longstanding emotional pain. Grounded in faith, the reader's relationship with Jesus is always central to the process.

As William Backus pioneered a generation ago with Telling Yourself the Truth (more than 700,000 sold), Solie will reach thousands of readers who don't have easy access to mental health providers or can't afford them. Pastors and lay counselors will also find this an excellent resource to use and recommend.

From the Back Cover

You are not alone--and there is help. Whether you are challenged with significant bouts of depression or anxiety, periods of longstanding emotional pain, frequent temper flare-ups, or only an occasional unwelcome mood, Take Charge of Your Emotions is relevant to your life.

Psychologist Linda Solie guides you through seven steps to dealing with negative or destructive feelings. You will learn and practice time-tested skills that offer relief from painful emotions, including how to
· Identify exactly what you are feeling
· Understand the connection between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors
· Choose new ways to think that produce emotional and behavioral change

I bought this book a few months ago but didn't write a review until now. Dr Solie's advice was so straightforward that at first I had set it aside as consisting of mostly common sense rather than new insights.
One night after a bad week at work, I picked up the book again, accepted the challenge and started to follow the journaling process that she recommends. In truth I have found it to be helpful. Somehow having detailed instructions makes the process of facing my own emotions more manageable and less confusing.
The hardest step for me is identifying my emotions. The lengthy list at the back of the book is extremely useful. I look over the list, take a guess at what seems to resonate with what I'm feeling, and often that helps me find a word for it.
I appreciate the well-laid-out structure, which is clear enough to remember and use even when I'm stressed out. I have continued to do the journaling and I feel grateful for this book.

Good for newbys

Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2014

This book offers practical steps to turning around self sabotaging thoughts which lead to defeating behaviors. It's pretty good for people who are new to the self-help venue and are not well read on the subject. I've recommended this book to some who have not yet done a lot of introspective thinking and work.

As for me, well read on the subject, the book doesn't hold my interest for long, as there's not a lot of ground-breaking information here.

But, overall, I do give it four stars, mainly for those new to the field of Christian Psychology.

A helpful and easy way to understand why you act and feel te way you do

It teaches you how we tend to think (gives many examples), shows you how to write down your thoughts and rewrite them, so you have more helpful thoughts and rewire your brain with reality and helpful, not just positive and absurd like any other methods.

Practical information for anyone struggling with everyday emotions. If we are willing to really look at our behaviors and what we tell ourselves, then we can choose how to interpret life in a new way. Great resource for lay people and healthcare professionals!

A book for those who are ready to make a change.

This book offers clear steps for those who are ready to make a change in their emotional and spiritual life. The book requires honesty and hard work from the reader but with a big pay back on the investment. I plan to keep this book close by as a "go to" for future challenges.

Has Christianity a monopoly on taking charge of emotions?

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 12, 2013

Verified Purchase

Linda J. Solies book about taking charge of Your emotions is in my opinion quite fascinatng in it's approach to the subject. The books continuing mixing between what I call a Scientific based psycological approach and a christian based value set is managed in adddition to my expectation. Linda J.Solies presentation of these in may peoples view perhaps contradictionary views have in it a substance that although I myself is a christian I believe has value for others to. But this is also the problem with the book - I find that you indeed need a very clear conception about your own religiosity to get a appropriate outcome of reading it. I shall not be the one to deem about my own religiosity, but I will anyway be relatively hesitant to whoum I will recommend the book. Not few people among my own acquaintances have been quite surprised that I haved read this book and found it interesting on this background. Say - on surface perhaps a quick reader but in reality a book that is demanding perhaps too musch of the reader. Was I a muslim what then? The answer to this question is not in anyway touched in the book - a weakness that only van be reflected in the given stars considered the authors belief in religious matters.

Good, but not enough.

Reviewed in Canada on October 29, 2013

Verified Purchase

This book has some great points in helping us identify the root of our fears and approach it in a systematic fashion. However, I had bought the book with the expectation of learning to use the gifts of God to overcome my problems - this book spends little time on this aspect. On the other end, I must add that it does a great job of coaching us in working through our problems by using ourselves as our resource (thus the 'self-help' book).

However, if you find that this is not enough and would like more guidance on learning what the Scriptures say in this, I highly recommend the following teachings by Andrew Wommack as a supplement.

If you google "Andrew Wommack Spirit Soul & Body Audio Teaching" you should be able to find it.

Galatians 5:22-23
"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long suffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control."

In my own experience, learning to recognize the God-given spirit within myself has helped me overcome my anxiety and depression far better than trying the 7 steps.
