"We are writing this Workbook to aid counseling clients living in a world in distress. People are experiencing "global anxiety" at levels rarely, if ever seen before. Our world is increasingly plagued with political upheaval, divisiveness and tribalism, interpersonal violence, hate crimes, terrorism, social injustice, the omnipresence of social media, cybercrimes, and speed-of-light news cycles that are bombarding our televisions, computers, and smart phones. In addition, we are also experiencing the tangible effects of climate change and seeing an increase in natural disasters. For example, the 2018 Camp Fire, the most destructive wildfire in California history, caused 86 deaths, led to the evacuation of 52,000 people, destroyed 18,000 structures, and left an estimated 100,000 traumatized by the event, the losses, and the aftermath. In 2019, California experienced the two largest earthquakes in 20 years (of magnitudes 6.4 and 7.1, respectively) within the span of two days that set off nearly-constant aftershocks for weeks and caused widespread damage. Although lives were spared, these massive quakes left people terrified, anxious, and afraid to sleep in their homes"--

The dynamics of 21st century life have created a social environment full of stressful situations. A Journal of The American Psychological Association noted that stress in the workplace has reached a critical point, and studies suggest that the most common aspects of our lives, such as relationships and daily activities, often cause the greatest degrees of stress. This book provides a comprehensive look at what professionals know about coping with stress, drawing upon research to assert which methods of coping seem to be effective and which do not. The book begins with a discussion of the nature of stress, looking at the effects of stress in daily life, considering some of the ways researchers study stress, and examining how the human body reacts to stressful events. The book then turns to the ways psychologists conceptualize, measure and study coping mechanisms, and to specific techniques, beginning with those that appear to be ineffective in reducing stress such as obsessing and ruminating about the problem and proceeding to those that appear effective such as seeking social support, exercise and improving interpersonal skills. For individuals considering professional help, the final chapters present some basic information about medications, psychotherapy and alternative medicine approaches.

The Five Rs--Rethink, Reduce, Relax, Release, and Reorganize--will empower you with a variety of strategies across five different levels of coping. Manage stressors with each strategy or in combination. These strategies alert you to potential stressors before they become full-blown stressors.
