CONTENTS: Introduction: Taking Control; Part 1: Handling Everyday Hassles; Part 2: Controlling Self-Made Stress; Part 3: Meeting the Challenge of Life's Major Stressors; Part 4: Preventing and Treating Physical Problems; Part 5: Coping Techniques That Can Backfire; Part 6: Coping Techniques That Work; Part 7: Seeking Professional Treatment; Appendix: Keeping a Stress Diary; Index. SYNOPSIS: Here are the best self-help techniques for defusing all kinds of stress--from everyday hassles to once-in-a-lifetime traumas. Suggestions range from the very simple (buy an electric garage-door opener if you're afraid of what might be lurking in the dark) to the very serious (give yourself time to mourn the lost job if you've been fired). Stuck in traffic? And steaming more than the car's radiator? Part One, Handling Everyday Hassles, tells you how to cope. You'll learn specific techniques for dealing with the stress that's generated from boredom, flat tires, housework, stage fright and many other minor but truly annoying situations. Sometimes stress doesn't come from the freeway, but from the "me-way." When we expect more from ourselves than we ever would expect from others, we really turn up the heat on stress. Part Two, Controlling Self-Made Stress, presents ways to cope with the kind of stress that comes from within. Have a terrible temper? You'll learn to control it. Are you driven, a type A personality heading for an early coronary? You'll learn how to be mellow. Are you the victim of your own hostility or perfectionism? You'll learn the techniques that will help you treat yourself more kindly. In any person's life bad things sometimes happen. Things that can't be changed. Things that have to be lived through. Part Three, Meeting the Challenge of Life's Major Stressors, can help you cope with the major stress that comes from such situations as divorce, death of a parent, money worries, retirement and unemployment. You'll learn the techniques that will give you perspective--and even help you use these difficulties as an opportunity for personal growth. Stress can take a physical, as well as an emotional, toll. In Part Four, Preventing and Treating Physical Problems Resulting from Stress, you'll find information on how to handle the fatigue, insomnia, lowered immunity or sexual dysfunction that unrelieved stress can bring about. If you're smoking or drinking too much in an effort to unwind, you may be on the way to becoming unhinged. Part Five, Coping Techniques than Can Backfire, talks frankly about why using alcohol and drugs, overeating, compulsive shopping and other, similar tactics only creates more stress in the long run. Stressed out? Burned out? Worn out? In Part Six, Coping Techniques that Work, you'll learn effective strategies for saving both body and soul. Strategies like keeping a diary, working out, praying or taking the kind of vacation that really refreshes. Finally, if your stress is too severe to be handled by self-help techniques, Part Seven, Seeking Professional Treatment, helps you choose the right professional stress therapist for your individual needs, and provides a guide to pharmaceutical treatment of stress. - and - Do you suffer from headaches, stomach cramps, diarrhea, muscle spasms, facial tics, insomnia or fatigue? Do you occasionally just want to "run away from it all"? Do you blow up over every little thing that goes wrong? Do you drink too much alcohol, smoke or take drugs in an effort to relax? Do you often overeat? Do you struggle with low self-esteem, perfectionism or guilt? Do you feel depressed by failed personal relationships? If you answered yes to any one of these questions, you may be under too much stress. It's a condition that has a profound effect on health and happiness. Learning to cope with stress has multiple long-lasting benefits for both your body and your mind. This complete book of stress relief tells you how to handle every kind of stress--from coping with the infuriation of being stuck behind a slow driver to accepting and living through the sorrow of losing a loved one. In addition to stress management, you'll find programs to help you prevent or trat health conditions that arise from stress, including ulcers, colitis, backaches, headaches and heart disease. Hundreds of doctors, psychologists and psychiatrists were interviewed to gather material for this book. As a result, Take Control of Your Life: A Complete Guide to Stress Relief includes the very latest in theories and practices.
