Permission to Feel: Unlock the Power of Emotions to Help Yourself and Your Child Thrive

The mental wellbeing of children and adults is shockingly poor. Marc Brackett, author of 'Permission to Feel', knows why. And he knows what we can do. Marc Brackett is a professor in Yale University's Child Study Center and founding director of the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence. In his 25 years as an emotion scientist, he has developed a remarkably effective plan to improve the lives of children and adults - a blueprint for understanding our emotions and using them wisely so that they help, rather than hinder, our success and well-being. The core of his approach is a legacy from his childhood, from an astute uncle who gave him permission to feel. He was the first adult who managed to see Marc, listen to him, and recognise the suffering, bullying, and abuse he'd endured. And that was the beginning of Marc's awareness that what he was going through was temporary.
