The Power of Emotion
An Emotional Education for Individuals, Couples, and Therapists

Emotions guide your life, understanding them can transform your life.

This eCourse offers a clear, comprehensive, and enlightening guide to understanding the importance of emotions.

Researchers are now saying emotional intelligence is more important that IQ, with recent studies showing that it “predicts over 54% of the variation in success” in relationships, health, and quality of life. Emotions shape our lives in so many ways. They act as our internal compass, driving our actions and informing our desires. Our emotions have a powerful impact on all our relationships. Exploring your emotions and how they impact your life can help you develop yourself, transform your relationships, and change your life.
