Pre-Ordered This- Love Dr. Julie’s Content
This book is beautifully written. Reading it feels like a friend giving you sound advice over a cup of coffee. I have already read a letter that feels relatable at this phase of my life. It would make for a thoughtful gift to someone who might need some comfort.I loved her other book and felt like it was such a good book with practical skills for people not in the mental health field. As a school counselor by trade, I’ve recommended that book to lots of colleagues and some parent friends.In short, I really enjoy her content and feel like she helps people access good tools and perspectives for healthier living. The customer still has to do the work (of course) and her work can only offer guidance but I really enjoy her work and am not disappointed by this book.-kwhetz01

My bible
A great book to read when youâre triggered or escalated or can anticipate moments where you feel anxious. I handed it to my 12 year old who was having a difficult time one morning, and it helped bring a lot of clarity for her and helped ground her and find ways to conquer difficult situations. My 15 year old also read some chapters that she felt applied to her, and it really helped her understand how comparing herself to others can be detrimental and how to approach moments where comparisons starts to arise. So far Iâve used it myself to help ground me and when I know Iâm anticipating anxiety. Itâs on my nightstand for me and my girls to use whenever we need it. I highly recommend it for teens and adults.

An immensely important book for coping and life
I can’t explain how much Dr. Julie’s work has helped me over the past year or so. Her latest release, “open when,” has helped me process an ongoing traumatic experience that has been going on for the last couple of years or so. I don’t know where I would be without this book. Every insight Dr. Julie shares with the world, is akin to getting a hug from your childhood hero, or even grandparents, and hearing the words “everything is going to be all right.”Dr. Julie-thank you for all you do. May you have many more years of success.

Absolutely essential for anyone
I’m so in love with this book! I have been looking for something just like this for years. Dr. Julie has done it. I appreciate that the chapters and sections are clearly titled so I can go directly to what I need to read for whatever situation I find myself needing help with without having to read it all. And there are so many different topics covered. I have already greatly benefitted from several chapters and I know this book will be a great help to whoever buys it. It’s SO nice to be able to get the advice of someone who has been helping people through these situations and really cares.

Wonderful book
What a wonderful book! The reasinong is easy to follow and resonates with you, and by the end of reading a chapter you get a whole new persepective on the “unresolvable” issue you had.Only thing – the book jacket was dirty when it arrived. People who handled it must not have been careful about it. I threw away the book jacket and now I have a clean hardcover book.

Best author â¤ï¸ ð ð
I am in the middle of reading it. I just love the ease of understanding, applying them in real world and how effective and helpful this book (and the first one too) is. Must buy!!! Therapy in hand for years to come.@negbian

“Open When …” is a terrific book, full of great insights and thought provoking ideas.While mental health has come to the forefront, practical knowledge and steps to improve one’s own health have not always been accessible or easy to follow through. Dr. Julie fills this gap and explains why we feel the way we do, in different situations, and provides helpful strategies to move forward. The book is a candid walkthrough of some of life’s darkest challenges, and the importance of how and when to ask for help. It is informative, thoughtful, practical, and useful, especially when we live in such turbulent times.Open When .. will make a great gift, and a good conversation starter with those we care about, when asking for help or talking about “tough stuff” might be needed. Highly recommend the book.

So much practical advice to help in situations that often find myself in. Written in such a relatable way too. A great resource to refer to

‘Open When …’ is no ordinary self-help book. It is cleverly structured, easy to digest, and full of readily implementable advice on managing life’s inevitable circle of ups and downs.The themes of relationships with others, yourself, and your emotions are exhaustively interrogated in clear and concise prose, which is nevertheless heartfelt.Each chapter starts with a letter from the author to the reader outlining a problem, followed by a section on ‘real-time tools’ you can use to help navigate the issue.This book differentiates itself on the quality of these tools. The insights marry evidence-based analysis with hope and clarify complex problems with nuance without becoming simplistic.For example, in the opening chapter on comparing yourself unfavorably with others, the advice on comparing yourself with past versions of yourself rather than others is nuanced, with the observation that our evolutionary programming makes it doubly difficult to do just that.Therefore, the advice is to ensure that comparisons with others do not entrap you in a spiral of toxicity. Make sure the comparison relates to one skill, and try to choose somebody just above your level of competence.Comparing ourselves with social media personalities and those close to us inadvertently sets us up for failure. The lives depicted on social media are aspirations rather than reality, and we often put those close to us on a pedestal. Others’ success frequently gets conflated with our failings.For those who wonder about the scientific evidence behind all this, there is a neat notes section at the back of the book with a bibliography of up-to-date academic references, while a takeaways section at the end of each chapter is invaluable for those who struggle to internalize the advice.Moreover, while I am an avid note-taker, my notes were often unnecessary. A few pages later, the quotable quote would appear in isolation on a page, helping to summarise and glue the contents of each chapter.This is a heartfelt book with a clear mission of making the benefits of therapy available to all. Without a shadow of a doubt, it achieves that objective.

Such a great book with wonderful advice. I found the author a few months ago on Instagram, her videos there are so meaningful, I had to order the book – which I am happy to say is also on point!
