"Where's My Real Life" provides a practical approach to recognizing stress and to the tools available for nurturing ourselves when experiencing stress. As a woman, this book is especially helpful in its discussion of the cultural influences that lead women to believe we have to "do it all." Reading the book and working through its exercises helped me to understand specific ways to handle stress and the role of our own perspective when in these situations, including ways to shift to a more positive view."
"I felt like the book was written for me and about me! I have already begun to practice new ways of handling my daily life and am feeling much better! My husband noticed I have been more relaxed."
"When I saw the cover of the octopus holding a cell phone, baby bottle and book, I felt like you understood my life! I love the illustrations and they make each chapter come alive to me."

Exercises provide a simple and effective way to reduce stress and quickly feel both relaxed and energized.
They are based on the principles of Bioenergetic Analysis, a traditional form of psychotherapy that explores how mental and emotional difficulties are expressed in the body.
This DVD contains approximately thirty minutes of stress relieving exercises followed by a brief body centered meditation. It also includes additional information on Bioenergetics.
"Dear Diana, Nicole and Maggie, I have just received the DVD and had my first look at it. It looks great! The wait has been worthwhile. Thanks for the additional DVD. I will share it with my colleagues. Please keep me informed of any new initiatives that you undertake."
