Don’t Lose Your Cool

By Dana Coats Mabry and Dennis Davide

This book was developed by therapist Dana Coats Mabry, MS, out of the need for adequate therapeutic bibliotherapy to reach children struggling with anger and all emotions frequently masked by anger. Don’t Lose Your Cool teaches children ages four to twelve to utilize prosocial coping techniques to effectively cope with anger and to understand root causes. This book aids in bringing formerly intangible therapeutic concepts to life in a way that has been proven to be more effective than other resources.

First, I am a mother to my own three precious children and recently returned to my hometown of Demopolis, Alabama. My children are Graham, twelve; Charles Donald, eight; and Mary Mil, five. I have experienced divorce, stepparenting, having a child “stepparented,” and having a blended family. In addition, I have extensive experience in working with the circuit, district, and probate court systems in various counties of Alabama. The following is a partial list of my experience in serving the court systems of Alabama: psychological evaluations to the circuit and district court, mitigation for capital murder, family court, expert witness, and probate court. I will resume taking referrals from attorneys at this time. I was born, raised, and graduated from high school in Demopolis, Alabama. After graduating high school, I attended and graduated from the University of Alabama with a bachelor of arts degree in psychology with a minor in sociology. I moved to Wiregrass to attend graduate school in Troy State while I worked full time for the Department of Human Resources as a children’s social worker while obtaining my master’s degree. I graduated with a master of science in counseling and psychology. I was working on a PhD in counseling when I switched gears to focus on my newborn. I have worn many hats, both professionally and personally, and have drawn a tremendous amount of experience from both worlds to provide a unique, powerful, comforting, and most importantly, effective service to both children and adults.
