MySelfHelp.com Introduces New, Innovative Online Stress Management Program

MySelfHelp.com has announced the availability of "Stress Management" – the latest addition to its series of online, self-help programs, which also includes Defeating Depression, Stop Binge Eating, Take Control of Bulimia, Overcoming Guilt, and Working on Low Self-Esteem.

Stress Management provides information, tools, and exercises to help individuals manage and minimize stress. The program includes relaxation and visualization techniques (including downloadable audios), and helps individuals stop negative thoughts and feelings, nurture themselves during times of stress, cope with difficult emotions, and change beliefs and attitudes that can contribute to stress.

"Members throughout the world are finding that our interactive exercises and tools can help them relieve stress and anxiety, develop new coping skills, and learn to relax,' said Richard Bedrosian, Ph.D., president and founder of MySelfHelp.com. "The stress management program teaches people techniques to soothe themselves and maintain a positive outlook. People can use these skills to help them cope more effectively with all kinds of stressful situations. The exercises in the program are based upon the techniques of cognitive-behavior therapy (CBT), a form of treatment that has proven to be effective with many different psychological problems."

MySelfHelp.com has a number of additional programs in development, including Hope for HIV and Depression, Como Derrotar a la Depresión (Latino Depression Program), Help for Compulsive Buying, Recovering from Anxiety, Grief: Moving Ahead, and Battling Substance Abuse. Healthcare professionals and individuals who would like to be notified when new programs are available can go to www.MySelfHelp.com and request notification of upcoming programs.

Anyone interested in subscribing can go to MySelfHelp.com and sign up, or send an email to info@MySelfHelp.com and request a newsletter.
