This appealing, accessible reference volume enables readers to
easily understand what creates and constitutes stress-an
unavoidable part of modern life-and learn about the psychology
behind relaxation. What is "stress," from a psychological and
physiological perspective? Why is it important to "unwind" and
relax? Can some forms of stress actually be good? And how do people
outside the United States relax? Part of Greenwood's The Psychology
of Everyday Life series, this book defines in non-scientific
language what stress and relaxation are, addresses factors related
to our daily experiences with stress, identifies the negative
effects of stress, and describes how to reduce stress and achieve
relaxation. Readers will see how relaxation techniques are
practiced around the world-and by people of all ages-and learn how
"chilling out" can not only make you happier but may also help you
live longer. The book also provides a critical-thinking section
that challenges readers with questions such as "Are relaxation
drinks effective?" The opposing viewpoints, written by scholars,
encourage readers to consider the evidence on both sides of the
debate and decide for themselves which answer makes the most sense.
The scenarios presented in the book help readers to see the
practical applications for relaxation techniques via an analysis of
what is happening in the example and why particular recommendations
may be made. Focuses on examples and applications from everyday
life rather than abstract, academic theories to ensure that the
information is highly accessible and relevant to readers seeking to
understand how their stressful lives may be harming them and
wanting specific strategies for improvement Includes real-world
scenarios that demonstrate the positive and negative effects of
different relaxation techniques in different circumstances Features
a glossary of unfamiliar technical terms related to physiology,
psychology, and psychological diagnosis Includes contributions from
scholars debating major issues related to the psychology of
relaxation

Like cancer untreated, PTSD can kill-if not the body- the mind
and soul. Linda King has portrayed, in real-time, what it is like
to live with full-blown Post-traumatic stress disorder. She hopes
to help to those who have carried the burdens of PTSD for years,
and give the younger reader hope that will erase guilt and
shame.
A self-help book is, ideally, just that. Linda's book is full of
gems. Self-taught, she has gained the insight and wisdom not only
to heal herself but others as well. She describes her long journey
from barely surviving to thriving. Traumatic childhood events can
shatter us in countless ways. Posttraumatic stress disorder impacts
all aspects of the developing persona. For those who suffer PTSD,
this book offers many "aha's" toward wholeness and self-recovery:
emotional, physical and, miraculously, spiritual. I believe you
will find comfort here that helps you make the journey.
Terry Lynne Dushan, LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor)
Linda King has creatively fused psychology, spirituality and
humor as she takes us on her healing journey in "With My Face to
the Wind." While sharing some of her personal tragedies, she weaves
in just enough verifiable psychological content (without causing
brain freeze) to know that she's done her homework. Her wit and
humor shine through just in the nick of time...
