Not a comprehensive look at dealing with depression/anxiety/stress but plenty of helpful tips for everyday life.

Your Pocket Therapist

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for this eARC

This is a GEM of a book, particularly helpful for those of us looking to resolve an issue in our life, but are not prepared to engage in one-on-one therapy.

Personally, I found this expert's advice to be EXACTLY what I needed to help me examine the origins of feelings or deeply-seated negative habits so that I can work towards getting healthier physically and emotionally (you need to find the origin to resolve/heal problems or issues).

We all have challenges in life, if you hesitate to purchase this book, think of what you would pay for ONE HOUR of therapy with the book's author or any other therapist.

Consider spending a few dollars for this book which guides you how to easily and immediately begin the process of self-examination. This book is written by an expert who guides you through a process that can help you resolve life long issues, and personally, I think this book is worth its weight in gold. I am going to obtain a print copy for easy reference that I can highlight sections of, mark up, and USE!

I set a side an hour a week after reading the book to work through this process. Self-knowledge can only help improve your life, make the small investment of buying this book - following this author's generous easily can readily change your life for the better, for the rest of your life.

I remember the first time I came across Dr.Annie Zimmerman's post on social media. I was fascinated by her easy-to-connect scenarios and tips on how to detect red flags within and outside of us. This book dives deeper into understanding the roots of our problem and how to connect with ourselves in ways that help us build healthier relationships with ourselves and the people around us. I will be treasuring her words through and through and applying her suggested methods in real life. Thank you!

I was so excited when I got the okay to read this book.
Mental health is so important, and I wanted to see what this book had to offer.
I also thought it would be a genius idea to have this book conveniently at my disposal for advice.
One of the best things i got out of this book was "To feel your Feelings."
I highly recommend this book to anyone who is starting their journey to heal themselves.
Thank you, Annie Zimmerman and Netgalley, for allowing me to read this book.

I am in LOVE with this book!! I struggled so much with the fact that it was on my kindle and not a physical copy because I really wanted to annotate and mark so many things. Not only will this book be one that I will purchase a physical copy of, it will help me personally and help me with my current and future career. I have recently been working in therapy myself so this book is so helpful and one that I will return to when I am in between appointments. The title of pocket therapist is SO accurate and I CANNOT WAIT for the release of this!!
