Months-long therapy wait-lists. Out-of-pocket costs. Online misinformation. There are more barriers than ever to accessing reliable mental health care--and when your mental health is suffering, you need help now.
This book, written by three practicing therapists, is your comprehensive mental health first-aid kit. Drawing on the techniques they use with their clients, they offer a holistic understanding of more than twenty all-too-common life challenges, plus compassionate, evidence-based strategies for when you're struggling. Even better, these are techniques that anyone can do at home.
In each chapter, you'll find:
- what the research says about the issue
- coping mechanisms that are used in actual therapy rooms
- step-by-step guidance on using these strategies in real life and overcoming common obstacles
- tips for communicating about the issue with your loved ones
You'll also find practical advice on accessing professional help, deciding if a therapist is the right fit for you (and breaking up with them if they're not), and paying for therapy.
You Will Get Through This illuminates the road to wellness so you can take charge of your own healing.
