Coping Strategies

Stressed? Depressed? Suicidal? In constant conflict? Lonely? You are not alone: all humans experience a gamut of emotions as they walk life's journey. This book brings together interviews based on real people and events. They are not fictitious; but for obvious reasons the names have been changed. At the end of each interview, where appropriate, I have made suggestions for alternative strategies which might have been more effective or beneficial in dealing with the underlining problems. . During my work and travels I have met a wide range of people with varying dilemmas and hardships. Whilst listening to these troubles and problems I have been fascinated; discovering the way individuals engage with a variance of coping strategies. As an Irish lady, married to an Indian and living in India for more than twenty years, with annual commutes between India and Ireland, it might explain why there are different nationalities amongst those interviewed - including Irish, African, English and Romanian. Should you wish to add your contributions, I welcome your feedback.
