This past weekend I spent several sessions with a particular patient that has repeatedly told me how much worse his body feels when he is under high stress.

Coming to see me has been his first step in his realization that he needs to start taking care of his health. As is the case for many of us, managing stress has to be a personal decision to not only take the time to create "me time" away from our stressors, but also to consciously begin to recognize our thought patterns that play a key role in the escalation AND diminishment of the negative stress we experience.
