Your Coping Skills Aren't Working: Move Beyond the Outdated, Ineffective Habits That Once Worked But Now Hold You Back by Richard Brouillette

challenging hopeful informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

5.0

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.
