#328 Forget Stress-Free: How to Actually Recover from Stress and Become Resilient to It

Welcome to How Humans Heal! In this episode I'm talking about how we can recover from stress even while we're under stress. I explain how it is that stress and trauma can make us susceptible to health issues, including HPV, why it's imperative to know your Stress Type®, and how your Stress Type influences your stress and trauma recovery plan. I want to be clear from the start: I'm NOT going to talk about how to reduce your stress to zero or try to become stress-free, because as humans we're always going to have some stress exposure. Aiming to be stress-free is impossible, and chasing it could actually cause you more stress, so I encourage you to release that concept. We often talk about "managing" stress instead, but I see people fail at managing stress all the time. So I reframe the goal to "mastering" stress by recovering from it. That's achievable. In this episode I'll teach you what I do to help my patients recover from stress and trauma and become resilient to it, because once we accept that stress is part of the human experience, we can take action to support ourselves through it and prevent its effects on our health and our lives.  I'm here to help you!
