    Taking Control: The Key to Coping with Dr David Bullis, Therapist, Author

    Stress and uncertainty are at an all-time high in the current challenging times. In April, Dr. Dave Bullis presented his new book, "How to Get a Grip: Coping Strategies for Complicated Times," offering practical coping strategies for balance and resilience. In this conversation, Bouba Heart of a Giant interviews Dr. David Bullis, a mental health specialist, about his book 'How to Get a Grip: Coping Strategies for Complicated Times.' Dr. Bullis provides an overview of coping and emphasizes the importance of control, balance, and setting goals. He discusses the four aspects of human beings (physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual) and how they are interconnected. Dr. Bullis also shares techniques for managing worries, decision-making, preventing regret, and releasing emotional energy through physical exercise and relaxation breathing. The discussion explores the practical side of coping with stress and reclaiming control in complicated times. The guest, David Bullis, shares his inspiration for writing the book and emphasizes the importance of recognizing that emotional distress is a normal reaction. He highlights the need to identify what hinders you and find practical solutions. The discussion also addresses the misconception that coping with stress means having no stress at all. Bullis encourages readers to embrace life's uncertainty and focus on doing the best they can with what they have. The main takeaway is to incorporate the guiding principle of doing the best with what you have into daily life. More about the book here - https://how-to-get-a-grip-book.com/about-the-author/
