The rediscovery of touchability

We all know the feeling: there’s tension in the morning, the bus is overcrowded, there’s pressure at work – and in the evening, arguments arise with the children or partner. In the midst of all this, we rarely connect with our own needs. This is where Susanne Pointner's book comes in: it invites readers to develop a kind and empathetic relationship with themselves and is aimed at those who do not want to go through life feeling cool and numb, but rather open and sensitive – without being thrown off course by every headwind. This requires a good access to one’s own emotional world and a willingness to be receptive to the feelings of others. Mythical images deepen the understanding, and numerous examples from therapeutic practice establish a connection to everyday life. Many readers will recognize themselves in it and find it valuable.
