Description
Clinical psychologist and author Dr. Julie Smith (@drjulie) returns with a handbook of “break in case of emergency” advice for dealing with mental health challenges in the moment they occur.
In this guide, Dr. Julie teaches readers and clients how to navigate life’s toughest occurrences while they’re happening, rather than moments or years after the fact.
What if we can learn to harness our emotions and stay present so we can process and choose how to respond to a situation?
Learn how to move through any situation with grace, including:
- When it’s hard to be with yourself: facing vulnerability alone, dealing with your inner critic, and handling imposter syndrome.
- When it’s hard to be with other people: dealing with betrayal and knowing what to do when you (or your parents) got it wrong.
- When it’s hard to be with your feelings: coping with loneliness, fear, and hopelessness
- When you’re healing from the past: getting out of a trauma response and learning how to stop ruminating about old events.
- When you’re looking to the future: preventing making the same mistakes, tackling uncertainty, and finding your path.
Open When teaches each of us to find and listen to the positive voice within when we need it most, and to care for our future selves and our mental health.
