Are stress, anxiety, anger, depression, finances, relationship fights, world events, and the neighbor's barking dog wearing you down, overwhelming you, and wiping out your coping skills?
It's all right. We've all been there.
Some of us even live there:
- Depression that debilitates
- Food costs that soar
- Fear that paralyzes
- Neighbors that irritate
- Anxiety that ravages
- Stress that suffocates
- Anger that damages
- Trauma that persists
Sometimes your coping skills aren't enough for your current situation (this doesn't mean that you're not enough) and could use some bolstering. Maybe your coping skills were never quite sufficient, but you managed to get along until now. Maybe you were never taught coping skills in the first place.

The Coping Book, your comprehensive guide to learning, refining, and practicing coping for the stresses we all face, for the irritants we can't get past, and for the difficult life events that no one should have to face.
"Coping" is our brain trying to make us feel better. Sometimes it nails it, but sometimes it makes things worse (though not on purpose!) The Coping Book walks you through the 10 Steps to Improve Your Coping with loads of skills, humor, and lots of examples that target stress, anxiety, depression, relationships, anger, and other problems and worries. As a bonus, a Part II shows you how to live a stable, fulfilled, and happy life so that your existence doesn't have to be all about "just coping."
Written by a practicing therapist, drawing on therapeutic traditions like CBT, DBT, and ACT, incorporating people skills and religions, peppered with science, offering worksheets to fill out, and written in everyday language, The Coping Book might just strengthen your coping skills and elevate the joy in your life so that "coping" becomes a thing you rarely need to do.
