The Road to Calm Workbook: Life-Changing Tools to Stop Runaway

The Road to Calm Workbook: Life-Changing Tools to Stop Runaway Emotions

A protocol of easy-to-use tools that can be applied when readers experience difficult-to-manage emotions.
Emotional floodingâ€•being overwhelmed by feelingsâ€•happens in response to stress, anxiety, and lifeâ€™s challenges. In this client-orientated accompaniment toÂ Affect Regulation Toolbox, Carolyn Daitch and Lissah Lorberbaum present skills and tools on how to dial down reactivity, practice mindfulness, and focus positively on the future. Written to conquer a broad range of emotional challenges in easily accessibly language, this book is intended to help clients improve the quality of their everyday lives.

The workbook is split into two parts. Part I helps the reader understand when and why emotional flooding occurs. Using vivid stories and examples of othersâ€™ triggering situations helps the reader better understand their own triggers, and how to cope with them. Part II provides instructions for â€œdaily stress inoculations,â€ a daily practice for relaxing and lowering baseline levels of emotional reactivity. The STOP Solution is introduced as a way of learning how to stop or lessen feeling emotionally overwhelmed. STOP stands for Scanning thoughts, feelings, and sensations, Taking a time-out, Overcoming Initial Flooding, and Putting tools into practice.

Throughout the workbook, readers will find guided imagery exercises, opportunities for journaling and reflection, mindfulness practices, and matching audio exercises on the accompanying CD. A complimentary companion app (for information, visit: www.bitly.com/RoadToCalmApp) also enhances readersâ€™ ability to take these exercises on the go. The result of this gentle and reliable program is resilience, well-being, and freedom from the emotional patterns that create suffering and damage relationships.
