Riding the Emotional Roller Coaster - Sylvia Bryden-Stock

Life is full of challenges that affect our emotions. One could say that through life we are constantly riding a roller coaster of emotional ups and downs.

I don't know of anyone who has not experienced at least one situation during their life that has dramatically challenged the way they handle things.

Things are going well according to our perception of this earthly life until suddenly we are like a pet budgerigar that has fallen off his perch and landed smack bang to the bottom of the cage!

So, what do we do now?

This book looks at some of the emotion's carers will experience along with including some of the author's emotional challenges that had to be faced as she journeyed with her husband throughout his Young Onset Alzheimer's Disease. Well-illustrated, it shows how the mind and the brain work together to create emotional response memories and how stored past emotional response memory can influence your responses to the current challenge of caring. Sharing her own reaction to suddenly having to ride a new emotional roller coaster is reassuring for the reader. There are some quotes from famous people that will uplift and encourage A book that is based around personal experience. Primarily for carers, this book can help others understand some basic neuroscience and how emotional response memory is laid down in the brain tissue. How to best negotiate the emotional roller coaster life suddenly forces you to ride.
