"BRIDE'S GUIDE TO EMOTIONAL SURVIVAL"

SHE'S GOT EVERYTHING SHE NEEDS FOR HER WEDDING,BUT WILL SHE MAKE IT DOWN THE AISLE?

"Bride's Guide to Emotional Survival" Helps Couples Cope with the Stress of
an Engagement Period.

There are countless tasks on a bride's to-do list: find the perfect hairstylist, choose a cake, buy the dress, book the reception site and the list goes on. Author & Psychologist, Rita Bigel-Casher, LCSW, PhD reasons that there's one more crucial thing the bride must take care of throughout the process: her emotional health. Dr. Rita's book, "Bride's Guide to Emotional Survival" (available through AuthorHouse, in book stores and online), tackles the myriad of difficult issues many brides face while planning a wedding and preparing for marriage.

Tension is often the overriding sentiment for all involved during what is supposed to be one of the happiest occasions in a woman's life. Dr. Rita's is the first and only book to tackle this issue with effective survival techniques and tactics such as "five quick ways to save the psyche of any bride-to-be" and "creating a united vision." There may be turmoil and unexpected dissent, but with Dr. Rita's sound advice, all family members, including the groom, parents of the bride and in-laws will benefit from these useful tools for handling each emotional crisis with relative ease.

Rita. Bigel-Casher acknowledges that, "The engagement period isn't always one of constant celebration and endless fun. It's actually a rather stressful time for most brides that embodies the last days of a family's and a person's life as they know it."

Handling the upheavals, recognizing that tensions are high, and utilizing Brides Guide to Emotional Survival's many tips for staying sane and civil will help brides and grooms keep their eyes on what is most important; their future together rather than the chaos of the pre-wedding planning. As Dr. Lila Nachtigal, New York University Medical School Professor observes, "Forget Prozac and avoid Valium. This book is true preventive medicine."

Dr. Rita Bigel-Casher is a practitioner of mind/body healing for Trauma and Relationships, with a private practice in New York City, where she specializes in couple wellness, individual growth and family therapy.

She has appeared frequently in the national media, including: Oprah, CNN, The New York Times, and many Bridal magazines. She inspires audiences on topics of love, relationships, success and personal transformation.
