Self-Nurture: Learning to Care for Yourself As Effectively As You Care for Everyone Else

Think about how you feel at the end of a day when every waking minute has been filled with obligations to your mate, friends, colleagues or kids-when you found your first free moment so late in the evening that you were too exhausted even to seize it for yourself? If you've had too many days like this-and what woman hasn't?-you'll find in Self-Nurture the help you need to transform your life. Psychologist Alice D. Domar, Ph.D., acknowledged for her cutting-edge work in stress management for women, believes that learning to nurture ourselves is essential for women today whose lives often feel overwhelming. Most women, says Dr. Domar, have to juggle the roles of caregiver, breadwinner, and nurturer-and have been taught to put everyone else's needs ahead of our own. The result is a near-epidemic of physical, emotional, and spiritual fatigue.
