Title : Truths and Lies of Our Emotions - Serge Tisseron - Book Summary : After having long inspired mistrust, emotions now appear as a final refuge and a guarantee of authenticity: we must "do what we feel" and "feel what we do." Fine... but what if our emotions were deceiving us? There are some that we hide from ourselves, others that we forbid ourselves from experiencing because we were once ordered to do so, and still others that we believe are ours, but which have been introduced into us like a foreign body. Thus, when we are anxious, sad or frightened by life, it is not necessarily "us"... By knowing more about our family history, by interviewing our loved ones and by asking ourselves the right questions, we can let go of emotions that do not belong to us and welcome those that correspond to our own way of being in the world.
