Calm in the Storm
The New Book on Settling Strong Emotion
|
** December 2024: Now available in audiobook format!
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. |

It is a vital tool for clients to successfully engage in EMDR and trauma therapy the first time – enhancing the ability to engage in re-processing within the window of tolerance. It is a must read for both clinicians and clients. When used collaboratively with a therapist, the strategies offered in this book can enhance collaboration around skill building and resource development.”

“I’m excited about the release of Susan’s book on emotional self-regulation. As a practicing therapist who aims to put patients in touch with their core emotions, I frequently encounter individuals who resist experiencing feelings for fear of being overtaken by them. “What am I supposed to do with all this anger/sadness/fear?!” This book will be a resource for supporting clients in managing difficult emotional states towards safety and healing.”
