Critics Review
The word wallowing is often assumed to be negative and critical. We fear that if we allow ourselves to wallow in emotions we label “bad”, such as fear, anger, envy, disappointment or frustration, they will become bigger and engulf us completely. But in her excellent book, Constructive Wallowing, psychotherapist Tina Gilbertson shows us that the opposite is true: allowing ourselves to feel each emotion as it arises is the quickest way to shift and let it go completely. Gilbertson guides us safely and compassionately through this process, teaching new skills that will transform our experience from repression and struggle to peace and authenticity – Jacqui Marson, chartered psychologist and author of The Curse of Lovely: How to break free from the demands of others and learn to say no
