(Darn it!) When things don't go our way, we need specific skills and strategies to regain our balance and to keep ourselves from spiraling downward. This book is an essential reference and guide to developing those skills in ourselves and also in our kids (for parents) and clients (for coaches and therapists)."<br /> <strong>-- Christine Carter, PhD, </strong>author of<em> Raising Happiness </em>and<em> The Sweet Spot<br /> <br /> </em>"Linda Graham's years of experience and deep understanding as a psychotherapist and teacher shine through as she offers effective, easy-to-use tools to not only survive but flourish during difficult times."<br /> <strong>-- Ronald D.

So many of us today struggle to find emotional balance and to heal the web of our human connections in the face of increasing anxiety and disorder.
