It feels important to say from the onset that coping strategies do not bring about change to the causes of stress and distress: instead they allow us to soldier on and carry out our day to day tasks. From this starting point, we will look objectively at different methods of coping, and determine how functional or dysfunctional they might be. We will also explore possible alternative approaches, such as sleep preparation, breathing techniques, sound vibrations and body tapping.

This tentatively challenging book gives the reader an opportunity to be real with themselves when it comes to their wellbeing. It also offers us the chance to learn about other insights in connection with coping, such as triggers and warning signs, un-selfing, defence mechanisms, action-planning and recovery bags, among others.

This book is the fifth in the series. Look out for others in our Self Detective range.
