Stress can enter into our lives quite undetected,
diminishing our health and our
ability to
perform World events (geopolitical instability, war, poverty,
environmental degradation, even happy stress– like
winning the
lottery or a wedding), coupled with our own increasingly complex personal lives, can cause us to react with tension and fear, pushing us off balance and into a state of overwhelm. Our minds may feel that we have everything under control and are ready to move on, while the body still has stress locked into its circuitry- one could call it ‘shock lock’.
In Putting Out the Fire of Fear, Sharon Promislow offers no-nonsense methods that uses our body’s natural bio-mechanisms to re-establish a sense of balance and control. Sharon will help readers identify what is in their personal pot of stress, how to recognize its impact on their brain and body and how to stop the stress cycle before damage is done with simple, effective strategies called "Fire Extinguishers." These have been drawn from Brain Gym® and Specialized Kinesiology, her area of expertise.
Stress goes beyond the emotional component, and Sharon addresses all the factors in this beautifully laid out book. As Sharon points out, since 9/11 overall stress levels have risen dramatically. Our sense of personal and national safety has been shaken. Even if we haven’t experienced the trauma of terrorism and war first hand, we are constantly affected by it through the news media. We have also been asked to remain vigilant and alert to possible threats. This places us in an ‘Alarm’ survival state that triggers many emotional, physiological and mental responses that mirror symptoms of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder. Putting Out the Fire of Fear gives us a chance to pinpoint any of these in our own brain/body system.
The media is always quick to show graphic images of trauma in people's lives, but gives few deep level suggestions as to how people can get over the trauma and get on with their lives and personal healing. Putting Out the Fire of Fear addresses this need. It gives a simple, approach to recognizing how stress is affecting you mentally, physically and emotionally. The book provides tools to neutralize those reactions, and to experience immediate improvement in how you feel and perform. The techniques will be equally valuable to both adults and to their children, as stress has been proven to be the primary block to learning..
