The Emotional Intelligence Skills Workbook

Improve Communication and Build Stronger Relationships Don’t let your emotions get in the way of your communication! With this powerful, evidence-based workbook, you’ll have the tools you need to navigate difficult conversations while maintaining your relationships — whether it’s with friends, family, romantic partners, or work colleagues. Psychologists Matthew McKay and Stephanie Catella draw from emotion efficacy therapy (EET) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to offer a wealth of practical skills you can use to navigate difficult conversations effectively while maintaining your relationships. You’ll learn what emotional intelligence (EI) is, and why strengthening it can help you overcome conflict with others. You’ll also discover strategies and tools to help you be more aware of your emotions without letting them dictate your interactions. You’ll also find skills to help you: manage overwhelming emotions, lead with your values, be an empathetic listener, and assert your needs.
