Getting Rid of Your Feelings: Does It Help?

Dr. Jennifer Kunst works with adults and couples in her private practice in Pasadena, CA and is also a faculty member at the Psychoanalytic Center of California and the Fuller Graduate School of Psychology where she teaches courses in psychoanalytic theory and technique.  She wrote the book, "Wisdom from the Couch: Knowing and Growing Yourself from the Inside, Out," Dr. Kunst says, "\[feelings] are critical in pointing us in the right direction, showing us what to focus on, and helping us sort out the good from the bad and the safety from the danger. The real challenge... is to learn to deal with them."
