Reducing Stress

What was an emergency response in our prehistoric ancestors is often the automatic response today. The result is burnout, also muscle tension problems, ulcers, anxiety disorders—in short, the effects of stress. This program explains that a wide variety of physical problems, including heart attacks and stroke, can be caused by stress, and recommends physical and mental relaxation techniques, as well as some major lifestyle changes. The program also covers post-traumatic stress syndrome: how terror can alter brain chemistry and how we are currently dealing with PTSD. (19 minutes)
