Grown-up solutions for a grown-up world. Do listeners rise to the challenges of adult life with confidence and capability, or allow these challenges to trigger familiar childhood emotions of insecurity, helplessness, and fear? Even the most intelligent and sophisticated can have difficulty avoiding childlike responses to the pressures and anxieties faced as adults. Now, psychotherapist Helen Kramer offers a pioneering method for eliminating those unwanted stress reactions by learning to deal with their cause: the condition she describes as 'emotional dyslexia,' a common syndrome that interferes with the ability to respond in a thoughtful, adult way when stress is experienced. With enlightening anecdotes and use of dialogue, and key words and phrases, Kramer goes beyond traditional psychotherapy to teach listeners how to identify a childlike response, recognize its adult counterpart, and move on to change their behavior. Whether stress is caused by a boss, spouse, parent, or any other source, listeners will learn the tools needed to discover the strength, power, and calmness with which to handle any situation
