Everyone knows what it’s like to overreact but few people know how to overcome it. It usually worsens existing problems with partners, family members and colleagues, and leaves us feeling ashamed, guilty and out of control. In her new book Stop Overreacting, Dr. JS draws from cutting edge research and thirty years of clinical practice to present the key concepts to understanding and overcoming emotional overreaction.

Research funded through the Decade of the Brain is revolutionizing the ways therapists view emotional regulation, and creating entirely new approaches to help people manage intense emotions.  These ideas are presented in clear, approachable ways and illustrated through case examples drawn from family relationships as well as the workplace.  This book provides an entirely new way to help readers develop applicable skills for understanding and gaining control over emotional overreaction.
