I Can’t Stop: The Rainbow Therapy Tools Guide to Changing Coping Habits (or addictive behaviours)

A compassionate, practical workbook for anyone ready to shift how they soothe.

We all develop coping habits — drinking, scrolling, overworking, food struggles, self-harm, shopping, gaming — not because we’re broken, but because at some point those strategies helped us survive. I Can’t Stop invites you to see those habits not as flaws, but as messages from your nervous system, and offers kinder, more flexible ways to care for yourself.

Drawing on principles from person-centred therapy, compassion-focused therapy, and mindfulness — without the jargon — this book offers:

• The Rainbow Therapy Tools framework: seven colour-coded areas (Safety, Expression, Boundaries, Connection, Insight, Integration, and Meaning) to guide your healing.

• Practical exercises and mini-practices you can use anytime, from grounding techniques to reflective journaling prompts.

• Inclusive support for LGBTQIA+ people, neurodivergent readers, trauma survivors, and anyone who’s felt left out of traditional recovery conversations.

• Gentle encouragement for when you slip, with tools for returning to self-kindness instead of shame.

This isn’t a one-size-fits-all program. It’s a pick-and-mix toolkit you can use in your own time, in your own way. Whether you’re seeking alternatives to addictive behaviours or simply looking for more sustainable ways to care for yourself, I Can’t Stop offers warmth, validation, and practical steps toward healing.

Because you’re not broken. You’re human. And you deserve care.
