Summary of Dr. Lisa Damour's Under Pressure

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The field of psychology has a lot to say about how to alleviate stress and anxiety if they do reach toxic levels. And if you suspect that your daughter’s uneasiness exceeds the healthy mark, you and your daughter do not need to feel helpless. We’ll tackle unhealthy stress and anxiety together. #2 The stress of operating beyond your comfort zone helps you grow. As parents, we should help our daughters understand that stress is a positive and growth-giving part of life, except when it isn’t. #3 Stress becomes unhealthy when it exceeds what a person can absorb or benefit from. It is not always easy to prevent calamities, but we can often summon reserves to help our daughter manage the challenges life puts in her path. #4 There are three types of stress: life events, daily hassles, and chronic stress. Any life event that requires adaptation is inherently stressful. Daily hassles are the result of a major stressor, and they can be difficult to deal with.
