Synopsis

Everybody struggles. Whether you're breaking down in tears at the grocery store, on the verge of cussing out your toxic family member or coworker, screaming at cars in traffic, or feeling completely alone and friendless on a Saturday night—we've ALL been there. Fortunately, there are simple ways to help you identify and improve your negative thoughts, calm the chaos of emotional overwhelm, and feel better quickly.

I'm Not Okay and That's Okay offers in-the-moment microskills—little strategies for big change—based in proven-effective cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and real-life experience. You'll learn to recognize unhelpful thinking patterns; cope with feelings of sadness, anger, worry, fear, and frustration; and improve your relationships. Most importantly, you'll uncover the root cause of why you feel the way you do, what's making you feel worse, and how you can deal with these intense feelings in healthier ways.

The world is rapidly changing and becoming more and more uncertain. But you can stay grounded—even when everything around you is spiraling out of control.

You've got this. And this fun, heartfelt guide has your back.
