Essential Skills to Recover from Stress, Trauma, and Adversity
by Glenn R. Schiraldi
Everyone faces setbacks and adversity at points in their lives. For some, each challenge is devastating and leaves a person unable to cope while others seem to manage similar situations with more equanimity. The author of this book would posit that one’s resilience (ability to cope and bounce back) deeply influences responses. So, what is one to do if they don’t feel very resilient? Maybe take a look at this title.
The author’s perspective includes a number of therapeutic viewpoints and techniques such as positive psychology and CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) among others. Readers engage with these in this workbook.
Just a few of the chapters are titled Rapid Relief Techniques, Self-Compassion, and Meaning and Purpose. Take a look, try some of the suggestions and see if they help you. They just might!
