Why do I get stressed? How can I manage my stress symptoms? How do neurodiversity, culture, and individual experiences affect stress responses?
The Psychology of Stress combines knowledge from neuroscience and the psychological and physiological underpinnings of stress to offer a scientific approach to understanding and managing symptoms. It provides practical and accessible interventions to help overcome the effects of dealing with overwhelming experiences, and also brings in the role of family and community in helping to live a more stress-free life.
Using a framework that integrates physical and mental health, The Psychology of Stress provides an overview of the key aspects of stress and coping, and reveals how to integrate scientific, therapeutic and movement-based approaches to deal with stress and enhance wellbeing.
