Clinical psychologist and bestselling author Dr. Julie Smith (@drjulie) returns with this highly anticipated handbook full of “break in case of emergency” advice for dealing with mental health challenges in the moment they occur.
Open When is the book clinical psychologist and online sensation Dr. Julie’s readers and clients have long been anticipating. In this essential guide, she teaches how to navigate life’s toughest occurrences while they’re happening, rather than moments or even years after the fact. What if we could learn to harness our emotions and stay present in the moment, processing and choosing how to respond to a situation? The possibilities for improving our lives is breathtaking.
Picking up where Why Has Nobody Told Me This Before? leaves off, Dr. Julie shares the research-backed concepts and powerful skills we can use to weather vulnerable moments. Written with the accessible format her fans have come to embrace, Open When guides us through some of the stickiest situations, including:
- When it’s hard to be with yourself: facing vulnerability alone, dealing with your inner critic, imposter syndrome, what to do when everything feels pointless.
- When it’s hard to be with other people: dealing with betrayal, what to do when you got it wrong (or your parents), how to let yourself be loved.
- 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, when you can’t stop thinking about old events, learning how to accept and move on.
- When you’re looking to the future: how to stop making the same mistakes, tackling uncertainty and finding your path, even when it seems impossible.
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.
