Celebrity Gambler Confession: Britney Spears6902849

I recall treating a woman who had an anxiety attack while watching a movie. As a result, she became fearful of leaving her house. (This is called agoraphobia) In therapy, she learned about why she was so fragile emotionally. Also, she learned to recognize her feelings and deal with them calmly and rationally.

Consider the following examples of anxiety, fear and worry from my counseling patients. (Names have been changed, of course) Dolores constantly worried that she would make a mistake and get fired from her job. Tim was promoted to manager and dreaded the idea of supervising so many people. Lillian felt anxious about her job and worried about being on time. Robert, a salesman, worried about getting fired because a poor performance appraisal. Carlos was worried because compulsive gambling put him deeply in debt.

The marriage was annulled within 55 hours (with a lucrative payoff to Alexander), but that didnt stop Spears shocking second rush to the altar later that same year, this time to dancer Kevin Federline (yet another a source of controversy, as Federline was an expectant father invloved in a relationship with actress Shar Jacksonwhod already bore him one childat the start of their romance). Their engagement was announced in June, with plans for a fall 2004 wedding. Somewhere between romances, Spears continued to selfpromote with fauxrelevatory documentary specials on MTV, ABC and E!, and she performed a surprisingly unispired live version of her universally panned Onyx Hotel tour for the HBO special Britney Spears: Live in Miami in2004. The blonde idol pulled out of the final leg of her poorly received tour after injuring her knee in June of that year, requiring arthroscopic surgery and four months of recuperation (she also admitted that her head really wasnt into the tour).

Rumors of her costarring with Ricky Martin in a sequel to the 1987 romantic hit Dirty Dancing werent realized, but the singer/dancer made a major impression on television with a second erotically charged performance on the MTV Music Video Awards, undulation with an albino python to her song Im a Slave For U and a saucy live concert, Britney Spears Live in Las Vegas (2001) that aired on HBO, a production that demonstrated her adult sex appeal as much as it did her propencity to lipsynch. Not satisfied with just conquering the music market, Spears tried her hand at publishing, coauthoring with her mother Lynne the autobiographical tome Britney Spears Heart to Heart in 2000 and the novel A Mothers Gift in 2001, the later of which was turned into the ABC Family Channel telepic Brave New Girl in 2004, which Spears and her mother executive produced.

Her debut single Baby One More Time was a smash in the last days of 1998, thanks in part to the precocious, provocative schoolgirluniform sporting music video that accompanied the catchy and oddly edgy tune. While the freshfaced teen sensation improbably crooned My loneliness is killing me, audiences of all ages were transfixed, from the middleaged man staring at the singers short plaid kilt and midriffbaring blouse, to the 7yearold girl hopping around in the playground, strangely pleading Hit me baby, one more time. Spears debut album went multiplatinum while her single stayed at the top of the charts in the first months of 1999.
