How to Cope – The Welcoming Approach to Life’s Challenges: How You Can Turn Distress into Helpful Action

In this remarkable book Dr Claire Hayes demonstrates how each of us can use cognitive behavioral principles to help us cope. In a very clear, practical way she shows us how to make sense of our distressing feelings, to become aware of our unhelpful thoughts and our core beliefs, and most of all, to focus on what we can actually do to improve things for ourselves. Rather than trying to suppress or ignore our feelings of distress, she invites us to welcome them as messengers asking us to do something helpful to improve things.
