Hilary Jacobs Hendel is a licensed clinical social worker and author who has made significant contributions to making complex emotional healing concepts accessible to the general public. Her work centers on the Change Triangle, a practical tool derived from Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) that helps people understand and process core emotions. Her book 'It's Not Always Depression' has been widely praised for demystifying how defenses and inhibitory emotions block us from our authentic feelings. The website offers valuable free resources, educational content, and clear explanations of emotion-focused therapy principles. Hendel excels at bridging clinical expertise with approachable psychoeducation. While the site primarily promotes her own methodology, it serves as an excellent starting point for anyone seeking to understand emotional wellness through a compassionate, science-informed lens.
