Helping Children Who Bottle Up Their Feelings

A guidebook to help children who:

• are trying to manage their too painful feelings by themselves
• do not let themselves cry, protest or say that they are scared
• are living with too many unresolved painful emotions from the past
• have had disturbing, overwhelming or confusing experiences, which they have been unable to think through or feel through properly
• are full of unexpressed feelings because expressing them feels far too dangerous; and are full of unmourned grief.
