How to Cope [electronic resource] : The Welcoming Approach to Life’s Challenges

Hayes, Claire2020

eAudioBook

Summary

‘Life can be demanding enough without us causing ourselves greater upset because we “don’t feel happy”. Instead, let’s welcome all our feelings of distress, all our thoughts and beliefs about life’s challenges, and focus on transforming these in a way that is helpful for us.’In this remarkable audiobook Dr Claire Hayes demonstrates how each of us can use cognitive behavioural 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. Using her unique techniques such as the ‘Coping Triangle’ and ‘Coping Sentences’, Dr Hayes shows us how to proactively manage life’s challenges, such as pressure, rejection, loss, failure, success and change. A number of case studies illustrate the success of Dr Hayes’s approach, while practical exercises and advice make it accessible to all listeners. This audiobook is for anyone who has suffered from stress, anxiety or depression, or for their friends and family.
