Open When: A Companion for Life's Twists & Turns

臨床心理學家兼暢銷書作者朱莉·史密斯博士這本備受期待的新書再度回歸，提供「緊急情況使用」的實用建議，幫助讀者在心理健康問題發生的當下即時應對。

在這本不可或缺的指南中，朱莉博士教導數百萬讀者和來訪者如何在生活中面臨最艱難的時刻時，即刻應對，而非事後才處理或拖延數年。如果我們能學會掌握情緒並保持當下的專注，便能選擇如何回應每一個情境。

延續暢銷書《為什麼沒人告訴過我?》的內容，朱莉博士分享了基於研究的概念和強大的技巧，幫助我們度過最脆弱的時刻。您將學會如何優雅地應對各種情境，包括：

當你難以面對自己：直視脆弱、應對內心批判，並處理冒牌者症候群。
當你難以與他人相處：面對背叛，以及如何在自己（或父母）犯錯時做出正確反應。
當你難以處理情緒：應對孤獨、恐懼和絕望的感受。
當你從過去中療癒：擺脫創傷反應，學會停止反覆思索過往事件。
當你展望未來：避免重蹈覆轍，面對不確定性，並找到屬於自己的道路。
《Open When》教我們在最需要時找到內在的正向聲音，傾聽它的指引，並善待未來的自己與自己的心理健康。

Clinical psychologist and bestselling author Dr. Julie Smith (@drjulie) returns with this highly anticipated handbook full of “break in case of emergency” advice for dealing with mental health challenges in the moment they occur.

In this essential guide, Dr. Julie teaches her millions of readers and clients how to navigate life’s toughest occurrences while they’re happening, rather than moments or years after the fact. What if we can learn to harness our emotions and stay present so we can process and choose how to respond to a situation?

Picking up where Why Has Nobody Told Me This Before? leaves off, Dr. Julie shares the research-backed concepts and powerful skills we can use to weather our most vulnerable moments. Learn how to move through any situation with grace, including:

When it’s hard to be with yourself: facing vulnerability alone, dealing with your inner critic, and handling imposter syndrome.
When it’s hard to be with other people: dealing with betrayal and knowing what to do when you (or your parents) got it wrong.
When it’s hard to be with your feelings: coping with loneliness, fear, and hopelessness
When you’re healing from the past: getting out of a trauma response and learning how to stop ruminating about old events.
When you’re looking to the future: preventing making the same mistakes, tackling uncertainty, and finding your path.

Open When teaches each of us to find and listen to the positive voice within when we need it most, and to care for our future selves and our mental health.
