How to Cope with Stress and Anxiety with Dr. Lisa Damour

Psychologist and bestselling author Dr. Lisa Damour joins Vanessa, and co-host (and sister) Shelly, to talk about how to manage stress and anxiety. "Stress occurs anytime we are adapting to new circumstances." Dr. Damour says that feelings of stress aren't always bad - they are a normal human function that can lead to growth and durability. But what happens when that stress is too intense? She suggests staying away from negative coping strategies. Those can be poor eating habits, not getting enough exercise, and substance abuse. Instead, look to maintain social connections, get outside more, and take care of your body.  Dr. Damour has a step-by-step strategy that we can all use to help get us through any meltdown.
