This book will help you if you ever feel you can’t cope. Are you nerves on edge today? Are you likely to lose your temper or burst into tears? Do you ever feel like giving up? Dr Tony Lake believes that these periods when we lose control and can’t cope are important warning sings which we should take seriously. In how to cope with your nerves he explains why we feel like this and has coined two expressions to describe our actions: ‘Notting’ and ‘Looping’. These are techniques we use to try and avoid our problems but they can be harmful and lead to a nervous breakdown. Dr. Tony Lake shows us how to put our problems into perspective. He explains: why we over-react; who is to blame; who is responsible; and what – in practical terms – we can do about it.
