ashleys_aside's review against another edition
First off, it's kind of fun starting the year with "this is the worst book I have read, let's see if there's anything worse." Because now you have a benchmark.
This book is hand-holding for people who are kind of terrible and want to blame their parents for them never becoming decent humans. This isn't serious abuse and mistreatment. It's just parents being human beings and doing their best. It's whiny and exhausting. Just. I don't know. Grow up?
Anywho. Six thumbs down out of two thumbs. I wasted nearly 3 hours of my time on this but at least that's all.

Thank you to the author, publisher, and Netgalley for giving me an advance copy of this book.
This is an incredible resource for everyone. Everyone has coping skills they have developed throughout their life, especially in childhood. I found the description of different Schemas and their origins helpful and informative. It has helped me understand my self, my relationships, and communication as a whole in a better way.

A delightful and comprehensive introduction to schema therapy with ample explanation to each concept, sufficing examples to ensure understanding, and helpful exercises at the end of each chapter to assist the reader in identifying, processing, and ultimately overcoming their obsolete coping mechanisms or schemas by exchanging their self-sabotaging behaviour for healthy coping and a better understanding of themselves. One thing that I have particularly loved about the book was the author's considerate and beginner-friendly approach to the topic. All in all, Your Coping Skills Aren't Working is an informative, well paced, and a skillfully executed book. I highly recommend.
