| | Stress Management |
| | Stress is the "wear and tear" our bodies experience as we adjust to our continually changing environment; it has physical and emotional effects on us and can create positive or negative feelings. | | | Our goal is not to eliminate stress but to learn how to manage it and how to use it to help us. | | | And even when we agree that a particular event is distressing, we are likely to differ in our physiological and psychological responses to it. |
