Currently,I work as a golf teaching pro and used to play on the PGA Tour. Managing your emotions on the golf course is essential to being the best player you can be in competition. Robert A. Moylan's book empowers the reader by teaching them how to properly release troubling feelings of anger,sadness,and anxiety. This book has helped me both on the course and off the course by teaching me to have a calm and relaxed state of mind. Gary Pinns, Former PGA Tour PlayerThe book Emotional Core Therapy provides the key steps in an easy to master ECT (Emotional Core Therapy) process. Life is after all a process and the more we can align ourselves with this kind of thinking and feeling, the better we are going to manage our lives as well as enjoy them.ECT is an easy read with clearly defined goals following each chapter. I would suggest that this book is some what like sports. In sports we keep score to know how well we are doing against our opponent. Without keeping score you will never really know if you need to change your strategy, make small adjustments or revamp ones entire approach to both helping others as well as yourself.As a mental health and substance abuse counselor for almost 27 years I can say without equivocation that ECT is one of the easiest and most successful ways of helping your clients as well as your self.I highly recommend Emotional Core TherapyJim Fisher, CADCFounder & PresidentThe IDS Group, Inc.(ILLINOIS DUI SPECIALIST)As a student-athlete I am better able to nurture my talent and measure my different forms of emotions using Dr. Moylan's Emotional Core Therapy in order to create better meaning and reach my own and help another build happiness.

Thank you Dr. Moylan!!!Ryan Lang, 4x ohio hs champion, sr national champion, jr national champion, 2x NCAA all american, Big 10 Champion, Northwestern GradThis review is from: Emotional Core Therapy (Paperback)As someone who is pretty widely read on the topics of emotions, emotional health, and psychological treatment, popular books rarely have content that surprises me or that I find new and interesting. This book is an exception. Written in an easy-to-understand style, this book breaks down a lot of complex emotional states into a few constituent parts that can be easily understood, and from there effectively treated. Its approach is wiser than that generally found in self-help books, and any reasonably sophisticated reader should be able to implement its content and make positive life changes.Steven G. Brownlow, Ph.D., Licensed Clinical Psychologist; Author, Emotions in Psychology and PsychotherapyThe readers of EMOTIONAL CORE THERAPY will discover a sensible, practical way of staying emotionally healthy in these tumultuous times. Robert A. Moylan explains his therapeutic approach in reader-friendly terms, emphasizing self-care for life's challenges ranging from addiction, anger, and anxiety to depression, fear, and grief… Exercise and meditation play an important role in emotional care therapy as do life's simple pleasures. Assignments and case studies add a practical dimension to this book as does the examination of toxic relationships. But to say more might prevent readers from initiating the book's self-discovery process and its ability to transform its readers' lives for the better.Stanley Krippner, Ph.D.Co-author, PERSONAL MYTHOLOGYEmotional Core Therapy is one of the best self help books I have read in a long time! As a therapist myself, I am often looking for books for my clients to use as part of their own therapy sessions, to augment what they are learning, as well as to have an available resource at their fingertips. This book has all of the elements I enjoy to read myself, as well as to recommend for others. It is EASY to read and understand. There are numerous EXAMPLES to illustrate the author's points. He uses easy to understand CHARTS that can help you learn and integrate the concepts. The author GIVES CREDIT to all of the psychotherapy theories that were the forefounders of his theories. He readily acknowleges that there is MORE THAN ONE WAY to help others, and that most importantly, it is what the client finds helpful to them, that is most important, not just trying to sell his theories. He used EXCELLENT and TANGIBLE ways in which we as therapists can help our clients grow, such as listening to a song with them in therapy, or discussing a movie in relationship to what the client is struggling with. I, myself, use similar therapeutic approaches, and found it refreshing to know that someone is willing to take on CREATIVE methods to engage his clients. Through his use of EXAMPLES, CHARTS METPAHORS, STORIES, MUSIC, CASE STORIES....he makes his concepts clear and engaging. His writing style was very simple, in a way that made me as a reader fell I could relate to him, almost as if I was having a discussion with him right in the room! I would recommend this book for fellow therapists, clients, and also feel it would be a valuable tool as a textbook.. Thanks for writing a book that discusses authenticity, and the ability to understand our emotions as normal and natural, and rather than trying to run from feelings, learn how to effectively FEEL and DEAL with them using the Emotional Core Therapy approach. Mary Moonen,Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and Certified AddictI would highly recommend Emotional Core Therapy for anyone looking to better understand their emotions and to empower themselves during difficult times. The concepts are straightforward and easy to follow and the example cases repeatedly help to illustrate the concepts of ECT and see them applied. This book is easy to read and follow and can be a great tool to assist in self improvement. Susan L. Bank, MD, Psychiatrist. ChicagoAs a Licensed Clinical Psychologist I am always searching for new resources for my clients.  I was offered the opportunity to preview this book by the author. EXCELLENT!!!  Easy read. Practical. Helpful Hints. Great Charts. Concise. Good structure for therapy.  Highly suggest this book. Bob is an excellent author & well sought after clinician & friend. Dr. Denise Casey IllinoisEmotional Core Therapy by Robert A.
