Drawing from decades of experience working in mental health, addiction, and hospital settings, Ladd has written an extraordinarily rich and useful guide to achieving emotional regulation. Emotional Regulation: Emotional Algorithms for Clients and Counselors empowers readers to systematically examine and change their emotional responses in order to bring about peaceful, fulfilling, and relationally satisfying approaches to living. By highlighting personal, emotional experience rather than diagnostic categories, the author has created a powerful guide to taking charge of life from the inside out. I highly recommend this book to clients, practitioners, and others who would like to embark on a transformative and healing emotional journey.
