THE BALANCING ACT: Rediscovering Your Feelings |
| When depression and anxiety exert their grip, feelings become dead. Sufferers report that they feel numb, flat, listless. Energy ebbs and fatigue is constant. Tears brim. Libido plummets. There is a loss of balance. In her insightful and inspiring book, Dr. Killinger reports that the way to health is through a reconnection with feelings. Being emotional is not the same as being in touch with feeling. Giving in is not true generosity, but a form of dishonesty that leads to a loss of integrity. In her view, achieving balance between thinking and feeling is essential if we are to make wise decisions. Dr. Killinger illustrates the process of regaining balance through the experiences of a couple suffering marital distress who come to her for counselling. She offers techniques for restoring feelings and becoming more effective in problem solving. Key Porter Books |

| "Its clear, thorough exposition (illustrated by dozens of case studies) and practical suggestions obviously originate from an experienced, empathetic clinician...It offers much food for thought and useful advice." Quill & Quire Dr. Killinger's best selling book shows that workaholics are inefficient, controlling, and mercurial. Workaholism is not about working hard. It is a compulsive drive to gain approval and success through the exercise of control and power. In the process, workaholics wreak devastation on their families. They also are no benefit to employers. It takes workaholics 12 hours to accomplish what others do in eight. And their erratic behaviour, resulting from their breakdown and loss of control, makes them ineffective.
