When it comes to having anxiety, women outnumber men two
to one. Fluctuations in levels of estrogen and other
hormones, as well as physiological factors unique to
women, seem to cause us not only to experience anxiety
differently at different times in our lives, but also to
worry about different things in different ways. Now a
pioneer in the field presents a new perspective on the
way women worry, showing that anxiety isn’t something
that just happens to us, but rather something that
involves action and reaction–something with which we
have a relationship–and that we can learn to manage. Anxiety can be friend or foe: it can keep us out of
trouble or keep us chronically on edge. Normal, healthy
worry reminds us to pay our taxes, see a doctor when
we’re feeling sick, and lock the doors at night. But
when worry escalates into chronic anxiety, keeping us
from fully living our lives, it’s time to assess the
kind of relationship we have with our anxiety and take
action to change it. In this practical and lively guide,
Jerilyn Ross presents stories of women who did just that
and introduces the Ross Prescription–a set of innovative
tools and techniques that you can use to do it, too. It
includes • questionnaires to help you determine whether what
you’re experiencing is normal, everyday worry or if it
is perhaps symptomatic of an anxiety disorder
• strategies for identifying how you relate to your
anxiety: Do you act impulsively to ease it? Adhere to
regimens of obsessive behavior to control it? Or avoid
and run away from it?
• tips for locating your position on the anxiety
spectrum: Is your worry healthy and helpful, or is it
toxic?
• cutting-edge research into the ways hormones affect
when and how a woman experiences and deals with anxiety
• the Eight Points, a set of reliable techniques to help
you control anxiety, worry, and stress in the moment and
liberate you from their grip With this book in hand and the Ross Prescription in
mind, you will learn to identify, modify, and redefine
your relationship with worry and anxiety and master
simple, effective ways to regain control of your life.
