Words, strategies, and habits a stressed or traumatized person needs to remember.

Have you been spending a lot of time helping a friend, relative, or co-worker deal with a life crisis such as a serious illness or failed relationship? Maybe you’re dealing with a recent negative event or challenge that’s distracting you from your family, business, or career?

This book can help cut through the fog of distress from unexpected and extremely difficult situations.

After surviving three weeks on a ventilator with pneumonia, years before the pandemic, award-winning psychologist Dr. Robin Inwald was told she had a back tumor likely leading to paralysis. Her recovery prompted the writing of this book.

Written in a concise A-to-Z style, Coping with Crisis is a reminder of what we need to practice in order to rise above the stress or trauma of negative events, such as accidents, sudden illness, relationship breakups, demanding caregiving responsibilities, physical or emotional abuse, toxic work environments, and other life-changing challenges.

You’ll discover proven strategies to:

• Reduce the frequency of negative thoughts and images.
• Identify and ask for what you need with increased probability of success.
• Shrink the power of haunting memories.
• Replace overthinking with A-to-Z snapshots of cherished people, things, and events.
• Make positive changes as you turn stress and crisis into strength and success.

In part two, Dr. Inwald offers a workbook of well-thought-out activities for each strategy. These provide additional support for getting back on track and reaching life goals regardless of disabilities or challenges.
