Description:
​
Do you want to cope better with anxiety, depression, or stressful situations? Can you imagine a life where you feel more in control and present?
​
Coping skills are our first line of defense for everything we encounter in life. We use them all the time but most of us do so on auto-pilot which isn’t as effective. Derived from my training and work as a psychotherapist, this book will teach you to use coping skills thoughtfully and with intention by going through the fundamental components and some easy and research-backed strategies.
Coping skills aren’t just meditation and going for a walk. Although these can work, there are a lot more tools we can learn to work with the science of our minds and emotions. I’ve handpicked each strategy in this book to include things that aren’t always talked about but have made a significant impact on the lives of many of my therapy clients.
Included in this book:
-
I lay out what needs to happen before coping skills can be used effectively.
-
I explain strategies for coping, when they might be more helpful, and show you examples of how they work.
-
Bonus strategies and pages for taking notes and recording progress.
