Dr Smith's Unique Self-help Approach For Coping With Emotional Stress

Dr Julie Smiths Open When was met with some resistance and curiosity.

The idea of having a bunch of letters to open based on feelings seemed really helpful, but as I continued to read her book, I started to wonder whether it was just another self-help book.

As someone who always gravitates toward self-help and life-coach books, I realised that some of the ideas were things Id come across before.

A few chapters on mindfulness and cognitive reframing felt a bit like dj vu. But that didnt mean the book was bad it just changed how I approached it.

Instead of feeling like I had to read every single page, I focused on the parts that really spoke to me. I skimmed through the basics and zeroed in on chapters that tackled specific issues, like dealing with social anxiety or imposter syndrome.
