FOR PSYCHOLOGY PROFESSIONALS

Professional psychologists and counselors will find resources that will help them understand how women feel and that they can recommend to their women clients. Women may be embarrassed to speak about their fears, yet research has shown nearly half of all women surveyed (47%) were afraid of getting older. This fear correlates with health behaviors, emotional and cognitive responses to stimulus words, abdominal health, confidence in self-care ability, perceptions of the aging process, and more.

Dr. Nancy welcomes professional colleagues to share ideas and resources, suggest questions, and participate in the ongoing research. Please visit the Professional section.

In addition, 42% of the participants in the initial research project listed their employment as professional. Professional women have the same kind of issues with their personal aging process as any other women.
