In The Umbrella, Dr. David Diehl proposes a simple yet highly effective framework for moving past emotionally difficult situations such as abuse, anxiety, and conflicts. He offers tools to protect ourselves from life's challenging situations using the umbrella metaphor. Diehl lays out the complete process teenagers and adults can use to gain perspective on their challenges and move on with certainty. The Umbrella not only teaches all the concepts you need to think on your own and gain perspective into your life, but it also provides you with close to 100 pages to journal about your own life situations.
