    Respected Christian Psychologist Helps Listeners Find Relief from Emotional PainLinda J. Solie, a psychologist who has been in private practice for more than twenty years, says everyone can benefit from taking charge of their emotional health. She gives listeners the skills to take control of their thoughts and behaviors by first identifying the problem thinking that creates painful feelings and undesirable conduct. Then using a seven-step process, she helps them change their feelings and behavior. Throughout the book the seven steps are applied to a variety of situations, both short term—such as a distressing mood—and longer term, including significant longstanding emotional pain. Grounded in faith, the listener's relationship with Jesus is always central to the process.As William Backus pioneered a generation ago with Telling Yourself the Truth (more than 700,000 sold), Solie will reach thousands of listeners who don't have easy access to mental health providers or can't afford them. Pastors and lay counselors will also find this an excellent resource to use and recommend.
