Reviews

"As a therapist, I love this journal! It is so easy to follow and so cute! The use of values and copingtools are practical and experiential. I share this with my clients as an adjunctto therapy since this journal is perfect for between sessions. I see my clients digging deeper, self-reflecting, and learningmore about what matters to them. As a therapist who uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with clients, this journalis amazing for the way it reinforcesmaking the choices that matter to us and teaches us how to use our values as our guide."

"If you're like me and you find most self-help literature either a little too Kindergarten Teacher Positive or a little too Clinical Therapist Detached, do your mental health the biggest favor and pick up a copy of F*cking Deal with It. The ultimate mental health journal for the modern depressive, you won't find coddling platitudes or patronizing lectures in here. Just actually helpful activities to get you through dark patches, with concise and often hilarious explanations that get you to the other side smiling.
Christina tackles the struggle with depression with a clear head despite teary eyes and infuses her book with the kind of blunt good humor everyone needs in their best friend.(Confession: I took this workbook and did the exercises in a separate notebook that I still refer to and add on to as needed. The memoir vs Lifetime movie exercise is my favorite.)"
