I am so excited to tell you about my newest publication!
Calm in the Storm is a collection of simple emotion regulation strategies that can be self-learned and then utilized in moments of over-whelming emotion (such as anxiety and panic). There are a lot of people who struggle with settling strong emotions, and whose symptoms are causing a great deal of distress in their lives. My hope in creating this book is that the strategies can work for a wide range of individuals, helping them cope by empowering them to settle emotions.
The book is not intended to replace counselling, but rather to provide a collection of efficient strategies that can be learned and then applied in a moment of emotional flooding, to reduce despair and to return to the present. |
“Very helpful for someone who knows someone who is struggling and is looking for ways to help”.
- Mario D. (Toronto ON) "Thank you, Susan, for this comprehensive companion guide for anyone experiencing emotional distress and anxiety. Your book is beautifully accessible -- readers will come away with knowledge about the physiology of emotion, the easy-to-use tools which can be helpful in regulating emotion, and an awareness of when professional help might also be indicated. I also appreciate the way your book weaves in pieces of wisdom from a number of experts in the fields of mindfulness and self-compassion. I am frequently referring your book to current clients, and can only imagine how useful it would have been during my years working in an oncology setting! Thank you again..."
