\u2018Life can be demanding enough without us causing ourselves greater upset because we \u201cdon\u2019t feel happy\u201d. Instead, let\u2019s welcome all our feelings of distress, all our thoughts and beliefs about life\u2019s challenges, and focus on transforming these in a way that is helpful for us.\u2019<\/p>

In How to Cope, psychologist and clinical director of depression awareness charity Aware Dr Claire Hayes takes a good look at our thoughts and how they can affect us, demonstrating 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. Rather than trying to suppress or ignore negative thoughts and feelings of distress, she invites us to welcome them as messengers asking us to do something helpful to improve things.<\/p>

Using her unique techniques such as the \u2018Coping Triangle\u2019 and \u2018Coping Sentences\u2019, Dr Hayes shows us how to proactively manage life\u2019s challenges, such as pressure, rejection, loss, failure, success and change. Real-life case studies illustrate the success of Dr Hayes\u2019s approach, while practical exercises and advice make it accessible to all readers. How to Cope is the ideal book is for anyone who has suffered from stress, anxiety or depression, and for their friends and family.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
