You know those days when you just can't even? When everything is haywire and everyone, including yourself, seems to be against you? Your to-do list is a mile long; your kid is sick, traffic sucks, and you just spilled coffee all over yourself as you were about to walk out the door? How do you cope? We guess you could say "f--k it" and go back to bed with a bottle of whiskey at 10 a.m., but check out these more sustainable and helpful alternatives by Dr. Faith first. This is the first book of its kind to break down coping skills by type of situation.

Louis Cozolino, one of our most compelling clinical writers, takes us inside the mind and heart of a seasoned therapist, carrying on the tradition of personal and professional writing begun in The Making of a Therapist.

Also addressed are clinical concepts such as related states of mind, the process of change, free-floating attention, and listening with the third ear.

His simple formula of using mantras or affirmations to reprogram your psyche like confidence, enthusiasm, and wellness inspired many self-help giants like Napoleon Hill, Maxwell Maltz, and Anthony Robbins.

Even the Beatles used his key mantra—“Day by day, in every way, I am getting better and better.” In this book, you will determine for yourself if his simple approach works.

While society as a whole is becoming increasingly conscious of mental health, and the social consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic has made the issue ever more salient, the idea of asking for professional help has largely remained taboo. In this empathetic and practical guide, drawing on some of the latest studies in the field, psychotherapist Donna Maria Bottomley examines these anxieties and argues that therapy should be just as acceptable as going to the doctor for a check-up or booking your car into the garage, and needn’t be our last resort.

A wealth of vignettes and interview examples illustrate the dos and don'ts of successful implementation in diverse contexts.
