Therapeutic Coloring Books About Challenging Topics

Venting Negative Emotions

Our coloring books feature non-AI, made-by-humans images. They're created with plenty of emotion. They're ready to help people release frustration.

None of the coloring has to be pretty. Maybe it's even better, if it's not!

Light-Hearted Problem Solving
Different Perspectives

If humor can be found, we'll try to find it, without going too dark. The main goal is to help -- at least in a small way -- solve problems. We think a more light-hearted approach can be the most effective.

Also, no one wants to be nagged. We work hard to collect the best advice we can find, without the nagging.

We know that people may find our coloring books after they have a bad experience, and any cautions may come too late. Processing frustrations may be all we can help with.

Our work also, usually, has plenty of nuance. For example: Some people love their HOAs. Of course there are good funeral services: They don't all try to oversell expensive options to struggling families. We give credit wherever it is due.

Did we miss anything in our research?

Is there anything you'd like to see in an upcoming book? (Please check out the upcoming books... it may already be underway.)

Please let us know!

Understanding Bad Things wants to help! Do you know a large number of people who could benefit from a coloring book, e.g., a group is traveling somewhere they could fall victim to a timeshare sale? Reach out to us. Our margins are already very thin as this project is primarily trying to help people, but we will happily arrange sales of 25+ books at our cost.
