Join us when author Joanna Hardis visits to discuss her latest book, Just Do Nothing.
About the author:
Joanna Hardis, LISW-S, is a cognitive behavioral therapist based in Cleveland, Ohio. Committed to using evidence-based treatments, Joanna helps people get “unstuck.” Through her private practice as well as virtual workshops on distress tolerance, Joanna shows people how to respond to being uncomfortable by giving them the knowledge and tools they need to move forward. She may drop a favorite Yiddish word (or two) during a session, and her goal is always for her clients not to need her anymore. She has been quoted in The Today Show, Self, and Well and Good magazines.
In Just Do Nothing, as counterintuitive as it may sound, Hardis explains that when you learn how to just do nothing with the chaotic thoughts and feelings swimming in your head, your life will change for the better. And, before you know it, you’ll be comfortably engaging in experiences that once had you running for that snack cabinet.
Is there a space between where you are and where you want to be? Do you resist overwhelming situations, wanting to avoid discomfort (while telling yourself you just need more motivation)? Do you feel intoxicated with inspiration one minute, only to find yourself binge-watching "Real Housewives" not long thereafter, having slayed nothing other than the snack cabinet?
You want to do things differently, but something keeps getting in your way. Maybe you spend too much time in your head. Maybe you panic when things start to feel “too much.”
The solution? JUST DO NOTHING.
Through this humorous, insightful guide, you will discover data-driven, science-backed tools that:
★ Empower you to understand and take control of your emotions
★ Break through the barriers holding you back
★ Show you how to create your own sliding scale of distress so you can increase your ability to tolerate discomfort
★ Help you learn to let feelings be instead of letting them go
Books will be available for purchase courtesy of Mac's Backs - Books on Coventry.
