SYNOPSIS Seven important steps to help you cope with "the New Normalcy," and live your life without debilitating fears. September 11 forever changed the way we view the world - affecting how we go about our day-to-day - formerly routine - activities. September 11 was the day phobias turned into reality; anxiety turned into panic; and the only sure thing was uncertainty. But, in the wake of September 11, as panic and horror slowly subside, many of us are still left with anxious days and sleepless nights. "When will the other shoe drop?" is on everyone's minds, if not their lips. Internationally renowned psychologist and bestselling author Dr. Harriet Braiker has identified a new kind of stress bred of this uncertainty: The September 11 Syndrome. Symptoms include: persistent anxiety and worry, sleep disruption, lingering low-grade depression, avoidance of fear-provoking activities or places, increased irritability and a general feeling of loss of control and helplessness, all triggered by the events of that tragic day and its aftermath. The September 11 Syndrome addresses these symptoms and offers seven practical ways for getting a grip and regaining a sense of control in these very uncertain times. Because despite the turbulent times, people still have to fly, get up and go to work, take their kids to school, go shopping, have fun, and keep their families together.

THE TYPE E WOMAN: HOW TO OVERCOME THE STRESS OF BEING EVERYTHING TO EVERYBODY (HARDCOVER) Braiker, Harriet B 1986 15232 From Library Journal The author, a psychotherapist specializing in stress management programs for corporate women, identifies the Everything to Everybody syndrome, a syndrome experienced by today's high-achieving woman who suffers stress while trying to excel in both personal life and career. Braiker compares this syndrome to Type A behavior in men. After presenting a self-test that helps readers determine whether they suffer from this syndrome, she goes on to describe some of the false premises that contribute to its development, e.g., denying dependency needs in personal relationships because of the need for self-reliance on the job. Coping tactics and a 21-day program to build stress resistance are also given. Detailing a newly recognized state, the book deserves wide readership! W.
