About this listen

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

Clinical psychologist and bestselling author Dr. Julie Smith (@drjulie) returns with this highly anticipated handbook full of “break in case of emergency” advice for dealing with mental health challenges in the moment they occur.

In this essential guide, Dr. Julie teaches her millions of readers and clients how to navigate life’s toughest occurrences while they’re happening, rather than moments or years after the fact. What if we can learn to harness our emotions and stay present so we can process and choose how to respond to a situation?

Picking up where Why Has Nobody Told Me This Before? leaves off, Dr. Julie shares the research-backed concepts and powerful skills we can use to weather our most vulnerable moments. Learn how to move through any situation with grace, including:

  • When it’s hard to be with yourself: facing vulnerability alone, dealing with your inner critic, and handling imposter syndrome.
  • When it’s hard to be with other people: dealing with betrayal and knowing what to do when you (or your parents) got it wrong.
  • When it’s hard to be with your feelings: coping with loneliness, fear, and hopelessness
  • When you’re healing from the past: getting out of a trauma response and learning how to stop ruminating about old events.
  • When you’re looking to the future: preventing making the same mistakes, tackling uncertainty, and finding your path.

Open When teaches each of us to find and listen to the positive voice within when we need it most, and to care for our future selves and our mental health.

I follow the author on social media and have learned so much from her!

I also read and listened to her previous book and enjoyed it. This book is at least as good as that one and offered me a lot of great insights. The reading pace is comfortable and easy to understand and the whole book is calming and insightful. I highly recommend it!

Thank you for another excellent book!

From the very start, the introduction with the explanation of why she wrote it, her decision to read it herself so that she could get it right, with her calm, empathetic, reassuring voice. She is brilliant. We are blessed she is so willing to share so much. She seems to have humility, an intact ego, along with a sincere enthusiasm for helping others. So many other authors offer broad philosophical ways to think, and very little practical guidance. Others want to tell you exactly what to do. Dr. Jay offers great guidance, based on real experience and training. She’s both a great writer and a great therapist.

My goodness, Dr J out did her first book.

Each chapter was very relatable. I enjoyed the way each chapter was not a deep dive into one particular subject.
