Back to Index of Self-Help Pages on Psych Web

See also Abuse, Anxiety, OCD, Panic Attacks, Phobias, ....really the entire Self-Help section here at Psych Web is relevant to treating stress, because if people are seeking help, there are probably experiencing negative emotions, which is what makes an event stressful. The links below are to sites dealing with the overall concept of stress, trauma, and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, plus a few pages devoted to stress-causing events (like terrorism) which do not fit into other self-help categories.
