Picture yourself in a traffic jam but feeling utterly calm. Or not letting your supervisor’s bad mood frustrate you. Imagine being peaceful instead of worrying. Or enjoying nurturing relationships and a warm sense of belonging in the place of loneliness. This is what it feels like when you’ve achieved emotional freedom.
National bestselling author Judith Orloff MD presents new solutions for dealing with emotions in our hyper-tense world. She invites you to take a remarkable journey, one that leads to happiness, serenity, and a mastery over negativity that pervades daily life. You possess the ability to liberate yourself from worry, anger, and fear. True emotional freedom is closer than you think.
Synthesizing neuroscience, intuitive medicine, psychological and subtle energy techniques, Dr. Orloff maps the elegant relationships between our minds, bodies, spirits, and our environments. With humor and compassion, she shows you how to identify the most powerful negative emotions and how to transform them into hope, kindness, and courage. Compelling patient case-studies, stories from her on-line community and workshop participants, and from her own private life illustrate the simple, easy-to-follow action steps that you can take to cope with emotional vampires, disappointments, and rejection.

Managing Emotions, Timely and Needed by C. Coleridge (Los Angeles, Ca United States)
Customers Rating:
Emotional Freedom by Dr. Judith Orloff, is a great book about how to overcome emotions that are negative. I love Dr Orloff’s books, because they deal with the mind, body and spirit. As a therapist and an intuitive healer, I see how negative emotions, destroy clients lives through, depression, anxiety and rage. When I work in the ER, I see how anger can turn into domestic violence, gunshots and assaults. We have to take responsibility for our feelings and not become victims to them.
They are OUR emotions. These heavy energies ravage the body physically and emotionally. A prescription, as Dr Orloff gives as to how to transform them is essential to finding peace and happiness. I like the kind of buddhist approach, about getting the lesson, in them but not letting the negativity overcome you. It is NOT emotional elitism, but a method NOT to stay in the darkness.
You get the lesson from the anger and then move forward. A brillantly written book from one of the most progressive and pioneering voices in psychiatry today. This should be a requirement for all medical students in psychiatry and other disciplines and a great teaching book for the lay person.

Having read Dr. Orloff’s other books, there was no hesitation in purchasing this latest release. She speaks to my soul and my heart in her writing (and speaking). Having discovered that I am an “empath” through her books, there has been ultimate healing for me, more than this written review can convey. She is a great discovery; I am finally able to come up with ways to explain myself to the “others” when I’m told I’m “too sensitive”; in fact, I now look forward to the opportunities, where before, I felt awkward. I can’t say that this book is my favorite, because I say that about each of her books.
It’s the best for me in the moment, until I pick up one of the others, but this one is different in its details and tools. Judith has a way of writing that is tender, sweet, deeply caring, penetratingly brilliant and precise and one just knows that she lives what she teaches. Judith’s books have been my greatest source of inspiration to accept myself as me; I only wish I had discovered her decades ago. This book is a must read if you have felt “on the outside” or “deeply in touch with no one to tell”! Judith had me with Hello, and I believe I will continue to follow her work….books and books down the road.
A gift of emotional healing by Scott Blum (Ashland, Oregon)
Customers Rating:
Emotional Freedom is a complete and powerful guide to living fully within your emotional power and learning to trust your feelings. Dr. Judith Orloff is one of a handful of truly innovative psychiatrists that understand the value of healing includes more than simply psychological implications of the intellect, but also embodies the flow of energy and soul-level work. This book is truly a gift, especially the chapter on “Combating Emotional Vampires,” which is a must read for anyone that has heightened sensitivity.
