Reviews

'Here is a book written in a relaxed conversational style that gives specific methods for changing emotion with emotion. The book is filled with information about emotions and offers methods to change anger with sadness, shame with pride, fear with calm and sadness with anger, to mention less than half of the emotions for which change rituals are offered. McMillan guides the reader in how to teach clients about the dynamics of an emotion they are struggling with and what rituals to offer clients, for use several times daily, to undo emotional knots and develop a broader emotional range. A must read for all those interested in going beyond what you currently know about how to work with emotion transformation.' - Leslie S. Greenberg, Ph.D., Professor of Psychology, York University
