Embracing Emotions, Finding Freedom

In Feelings Allowed, Dr Carlos Raimundo blends neuroscience, storytelling, and decades of experience in psychodrama and psychotherapy to offer a powerful guide to embracing the full range of human emotions—without fear or judgment.

Each feeling, from joy and love to sadness and resentment, is a messenger guiding you toward deeper truths about yourself and your relationships. With gentle insights and practical exercises, Feelings Allowed helps you heal old wounds, strengthen connections, and break free from self-limiting narratives.

A perfect companion for those on a therapeutic journey, this book expands the healing process and reveals hidden emotions waiting to be explored.

If you enjoyed Brené Brown’s Atlas of the Heart or seek to weave science with personal growth, Feelings Allowed will inspire you to live with greater emotional clarity and courage—because every emotion is part of your story, and every feeling is allowed.
