stress management - into practice

I agree the class was very enlighting and thought provoking. I liked the simplicity of the steps given. I have experienced many difficult and stressful jobs in past and understanding the simple steps of increased vulnerability and decreased power actually dimminishes the stress and puts it in perspective. It gave me a sense of empowerment just knowing how those two play into the dynamic of excessive worry. I agree the systematic approach was very helpful in stress reduction.
