How to Build Mental Strength (Even If You’re Overwhelmed)

By Dorlee

How to Build Mental Strength

Want to know how to build mental strength even when you’re feeling overwhelmed? This review of Amy Morin’s Mental Strength course reveals proven CBT-based techniques for regulating your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Learn how building mental strength differs from mental health, why getting rid of bad habits matters as much as developing good ones, and specific strategies to improve resilience, increase happiness, and enhance decision-making. Based on Amy Morin’s bestselling book “13 Things Mentally Strong People Don’t Do,” this course offers practical exercises, progress tracking, and tools especially valuable for social workers and helping professionals. Discover how to control your emotions so they don’t control you and behave productively regardless of your circumstances.
