Description
Everybody struggles. Whether you're breaking down in tears at the grocery store, on the verge of cussing out your toxic family member or co-worker, screaming at cars in traffic, or feeling completely alone and friendless on a Saturday night-we've ALL been there. The struggle is REAL. And it's okay to NOT feel okay sometimes. Fortunately, there are simple ways to help you identify and improve your negative thoughts, calm the chaos of emotional overwhelm, and feel better quickly. This portable pick-me-up is just what you need.
I'm Not Okay and That's Okay offers in-the-moment micro skills-little strategies for big change-based in proven-effective cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and real-life experience. With this go-to guide, you'll learn to recognize unhelpful thinking patterns; deal 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 harness these intense feelings in healthier ways.
We live in an era of extreme emotions. The world is rapidly changing and becoming more and more uncertain. But you can stay grounded-even when everything around you is spiralling out of control.
You've got this. And this fun, heartfelt guide has your back.
Advance Praise
“Steff Du Bois gives us a witty, funny, honest, and wildly helpful book of therapeutic gems that will fuel self-reflection, growth, compassion, and better mental health. Their approach is the best possible fusion of a well-trained therapist, a wise mentor, and a friend you text at midnight. We will all be better off spending some time with this glorious and insightful book.”
—Breanne Fahs, author of Burn It Down! and Women, Sex, and Madness
“I sped through Steff Du Bois’s I’m Not Okay and That’s Okay, then went back and read it again to make sure I hadn’t missed anything. Du Bois, with great empathy and deep clinical knowledge, normalizes not being okay, then gives digestible, clear, and easy-to-follow instructions on how to healthily respond to life’s stressors. Du Bois’s coping mechanisms and gentle guidance were revelatory.”
—Anton DiSclafani, professor of English at Auburn University, and author of The After Party
