46 – Men’s Stress Management

Do you need help managing stress? Take notes! Today Dr. Dominika tells us the meaning of stress and how to cope with it. She defines stress as the demand placed on an individual that is greater than his/her resources and their ability to cope. She explains the three elements that improve our resilience to stress: an environment that helps individuals have a sense of safety, having a felt experience of who you really are, and doing it in the presence of a caring other. Learn the causes of the stress you’re experiencing and understand how to handle it.
