Praise for

PSYCHOLOGICAL SECRETS FOR EMOTIONAL SUCCESS

I invite you to engage in the warm and wise conversation that I just had with Doctor Kelly while reading her wonderful new book. That I refer to this experience as a conversation speaks to the sense of connection that I felt in reading each kernel of insight that Doctor Kelly shared in these pages. This book will touch your heart and head; in doing so, it encourages us to become the best version of ourselves. As in the best therapy sessions, Doctor Kellys thoughtful writing will enlighten you and nurture your soul. I heartily recommend this book!!!!

Doctor Kelly gives us the tools to create better relationships in all the areas of our lives. She wants us to succeed and knows how to help us get there. We all know how essential corporate culture is to success. As a CEO and business owner of a fast-paced mid-size company, I will share Psychological Secrets for Emotional Success with my co-workers to build a shared language for better communication. I've already taken what I learned from the book and applied it at home as well--who doesn't want to improve your connections with the people you love? One of the great things about the way Doctor Kelly writes is that you can read it cover-to-cover or pick it up and start anywhere, which I appreciate as a person who is juggling many responsibilities. Buy the book for you, your employees, your friends. You're welcome.

I was delighted to read an advance copy of Doctor Kellys Psychological Secrets for Emotional Success. One of the chapters that was most moving to me and a cornerstone of Doctor Kellys work is her commitment to acknowledging the importance of empathy in our lives and the lives of those around us. Her focus of empathy as the Platinum Rule of Do unto others as youd have done to you. IF WE WERE THEM, was moving to me as a clinician. It allows us as helpers and humans to see and assess empathy from the role of the person, instead of ourselves. An important rule for all of us to follow more openly in our lives. Her takeaway is to help us unlock empathy within our liveswhich leads to transformational progress. The whole exploration of empathy and opening ourselves is one that embodies who Doctor Kelly is as a psychologist and her commitment to healing those she reaches.

A feast of enlightenment to contemplate and consume.

I was struck (although not surprised) by how accessible it isits like having a conversation. It strikes a fantastic balance between being direct, pragmatic, clear about intentions and instructions, with an infusion of empathy that includes infectious self-compassion without feeling sappy. Several times I thought Im glad Im reading this. It seems appropriate for someone whos seeking a change in their life as well as someone whos been in the field for some time. I found myself being curious and impatient to read more.

This book reads like a conversation with a trusted and knowledgeable therapist who genuinely cares about your well-being and wants you to be the best version of yourself that you can be! Doctor Kelly provides readers with knowledge often known only to those who study psychology and psychotherapy, and she does so in an easy-to-understand, authentic, and reassuring voice. Equal parts information, encouragement, and a personalized pep talk, this book will provide you with the tools for emotional success and stability.

With so many voices offering ways to think better and act differently, audiences need to listen and filter carefully to find those that ring authentic and trustworthy. Such is the voice I hear as I read Kelly Rabensteins Psychological Secrets. I trust her research, experience, and synthesis of very important concepts so much that I plan to use this book as part of assigned course work in the Fall in a course preparing teachers of secondary English, especially chapter 10! Doctor Kelly offers us hope for healing a society currently gashed by distrust and uncertainty.

Dr. Collin Wansor, PhD, Professor, Seton Hill University, Secondary Teacher Educator

Doctor Kellys book is not only a masterpiece but a manifesto for emotional success. As humans we dont get a manual that guides us through our uniqueness, our lack of self-awareness or even our ability to have empathy. This book IS our manual. Our manual to unlocking our better selves. The common thread? Love.
