Stress and how we can Mitigate it

Stress can be good for us when we use it well, but that is not always the case. Sometimes things don't go our way, leading to internal or external reactions to them and creating harmful stress. Stress is not a bad thing when viewed with positivity. It is divinely built in us by God to chase us from the zones of comfort or discomfort. Stress can also be a reaction to a perceived threat.

Join me with Dr. Lidia Martinez in this Therapy Thursday conversation as we dive into the causes of stress and how we can mitigate it as God desires. Without knowledge, we will experience stress, which releases cortisol into our body, making us have poor sleeping patterns, gain weight, and have a lot of physical reactions.
