As a parent, you are probably struggling with taking care of a child on the autism spectrum. But you always have to remember, the child is the one who struggles the most.

However, you CAN figure out how to handle both day-to-day and long term issues. There are some imaginative approaches that can bring the whole family together. This book offers some reasonable and well-thought-out answers to issues that might seem insurmountable right now.

• Autism spectrum disorders
• Signs and symptoms of Asperger's
• Establishing a diagnosis and going from there
• Ways to approach mental health concerns
• How to deal with anxiety and anger



If you feel a little overwhelmed and uncertain about your approach, that's completely normal. All parents feel like that when it comes to children's education and health. Use this book to help you define the best approach to YOUR child.

You do not have to be controlled by those emotions any longer-in fact, you can take control of them yourself. Ultimately, emotional intelligence and cognitive behavioral therapy are two different methods that are used for emotional regulation-the ability to control the reaction to your emotions that you have instinctively. With the ability to regulate, you are able to avoid screaming at people when you are angry or hurting people when you are frustrated. The skills of emotional regulation are critical if you wish to be successful with other people, and developing these skills can be a bit of a challenge if you do not know where to start.

However, Emotional Intelligence & Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is here to help. In reading this book, you will find that becoming capable of controlling your emotions does not have to be as difficult as it may sound. Anyone can learn how to control their emotions if they are willing to go through the effort to do so, and if you find that you are willing to, try this book. As you read through it, you will be introduced to both emotional intelligence and cognitive behavioral therapy, two such techniques that help you regulate your emotions. Emotional intelligence promises success if you master the skills within it whereas CBT offers people peace of mind and knowledge of how best to control their own thought processes.

Within this book, you will find:

● A working definition of both emotional intelligence and cognitive behavioral therapy

● Why emotional intelligence is so critical and how it directly influences every aspect of life

● The pillars of emotional intelligence and the skills each entails

● Emotional intelligence as it relates to the narcissist

● How CBT took the best of both cognitive therapy and behavioral therapy to create an entirely new school of therapy

● A working guide of anxiety, depression, insomnia, and anger, and how to deal with all of them using CBT-approved methods

● How to develop social skills that will help you thrive in any situation that you find yourself in

● AND MORE

While it may be impossible to believe that you can learn to control emotions after reading a book after a lifetime of being controlled by your emotions, it is true. You can learn to control your emotions by learning to acknowledge them without discrediting them, and learning how the cycle of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors works in practice. You will learn how to overcome those negative feelings in order to stop allowing them to take control of your life. It may be intimidating to think that you can do it, but you can.

Now, don't hesitate. If you want to find yourself back in control of your life, there is no better time than now in order to get your hands on your own guide to emotional regulation.
