by
Julie Radico, Nicole Helverson, Charity O’Reilly
An all-in-one guide to taking charge of your mental health, with research-proven strategies to alleviate daily struggles such as depression, anxiety, panic disorder, ADHD, and insomnia
With growing barriers to mental health care—from months-long therapy wait-lists to financial concerns to rampant online misinformation—it’s hard to know where to turn when you need help now. This book, written by three practicing therapists, is your comprehensive mental health first-aid kit. Drawing on the techniques they use with their patients, they offer compassionate, evidence-based strategies for managing common mental health struggles. Even better, these are techniques that anyone can do at home.
You Will Get Through This helps you identify and understand common mental health problems and their related coping strategies. In each chapter, you’ll find:
- what the research says about the issue
- coping mechanisms that are used in actual therapy rooms
- step-by-step guidance on using these strategies in real life and overcoming common obstacles
- tips for communicating about the issue with your loved ones
With a holistic biopsychosocial approach that takes into account the biological, social, and environmental factors affecting mental health, You Will Get Through This illuminates the road to wellness and allows you to take charge of your own healing.
