Whether our anxiety arises because of uncertain tough economic times or as a result of our own struggle with workaholism, obsession, or depression, too often we lose touch with our feeling side, experience numb flat affect, and gradually become immobilized by fear. Constructive and easy-to-follow strategies offer hope to those who are trying to recover. Clinical psychologist Dr Barbara Killinger offers insights and a variety of techniques that she developed in working with her clients over the years. Through their stories, she illustrates the dynamics of workaholism, showing how it produces profound personality changes, negatively affects family interactions, and reduces effectiveness at work. She explains the dynamics of how workaholism can result in the loss of personal and professional integrity, and why ambitious, perfectionistic people typically become obsessive and increasingly narcissistic. Achieving Inner Balance in Anxious Times shows us how to become aware of the darker side of our personalities, and how to avoid conflict and power struggles by establishing clear ego boundaries that help build mutual trust and respect in our personal and professional lives.The achievement of inner balance makes work-life balance possible.
