Stress is something we all deal with. Some move through it quickly; some become stuck in it. It has been linked to more physical illnesses than can reasonably be listed, and left unattended it can lead to depression, anxiety, and phobias. It clouds the mind, makes good decisions harder, and costs attention — which leads to mistakes. Workplace stress is estimated to cost American companies around $300 billion a year.

For all of those reasons, it is worth dealing with stress the moment it appears. I created these programs for my psychotherapy clients and students. They have helped thousands of people, and they will help you — but only if you practice daily. The more you practice, the easier it becomes to relax when you genuinely need to.

Mastery Over Stress by Jon Shore

LU 12

Mastery Over Stress

Learn to deal with stress quickly in any situation, then to relax again with a single deep breath. Three guided exercises teach the skills and then put them to work in real situations. Ideal if you have little time to practice — the longest exercise is only 13 minutes. Background music by Steven Bergman.
