Understanding Your Feelings

Marianne Bentzen's "The Neuroaffective Picture Book" is an extraordinary, illustrated guide to developmental neuropsychology and a useful tool for learning about emotions, social skills, and self-regulation. We recommend it not only to psychologists, teachers, or therapists but also to parents who want to understand the key stages of their children's development to best support them in shaping basic life resources and skills.

And a citation:

"Feelings and emotions play a key role in our ability to form bonds with others, make decisions, and develop a sense of meaning in life. Like autonomic sensations, feelings are beyond our control as they form in our subconscious. By understanding our feelings, we can explore what factors balance or intensify them, and learn which forms of contact and attunement help develop a more balanced and mature emotional repertoire."
