According to Scott, stress is a process, incorporating both cause and effect,with emotional, psychological, behavioral, biological and physical components. Our unique physical and personality traits and the individual circumstances of our lives ensure that the stressors in each of our lives, and the ways in which we experience them, will be ours and ours alone. In other words, no off-the-shelf stress-reduction scheme can possibly work for every woman. The packaged wisdom of pop-psychology can be very seductive, but too often, these approaches provide only short-term relief. They ease our symptoms, without ever resolving the fundamental internal conflicts at the root of the problem. Scott's approach rests on developing an understanding of what stress is, of what it is not, and most importantly, how to find the right stress-health balance. INDICE: Part I.
