8 Keys to Stress Management

Written by AIS Diplomate Elizabeth Scott

8 Keys to Stress Management written by Elizabeth Scott, MS, DAIS, is one empowering part of a series called “8 Keys to Mental Health.” It was written in Ms. Scott’s usual clear and accessible style and leads readers through the processes and challenges of making changes in their lives in order to manage and reduce the negative impact of stress. With each of her 8 Keys, Ms. Scott uses real world examples and evidence- based strategies to teach effective stress management techniques. The 8 Keys help readers recognize stressors and become aware of their power to reduce and reverse the impact of stress. Each chapter contains suggested activities, self administered questionnaires and helpful hints that prompt and encourage self- evaluation, shifts in perspective and personal growth. This book is a valuable resource that allows any reader to create a custom stress management plan so that they can enjoy the benefits of resolved or reduced stress. The book is designed to be effective for people who are busy and overwhelmed. It can be read cover to cover or in bits and pieces, skipping to Keys that seem more relevant at the time of reading. Ms. Scott has created a comprehensive resource that lends itself to easy reading and re-reading, through the inevitable stress induced peaks and valleys of happiness and contentment experienced in daily life.
