Stress is the aspect of anxiety that we feel in our body. Worry is about thoughts, but stress is how our muscles get tense, our breathing gets tight, we feel achy, and our hands sweat. Stress is the physiological response to perceived danger. The good news is you can train your mind and body to be calm by doing simple activities throughout the day.

About Me:
I’m Emma McAdam. I’m a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and I have worked in various settings of change and growth since 2004. My experience includes juvenile corrections, adventure therapy programs, wilderness therapy programs, an eating disorder treatment center, a residential treatment center, and I currently work in an outpatient therapy clinic.
In therapy I use a combination of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Systems Theory, positive psychology, and a bio-psycho-social approach to treating mental illness and other challenges we all face in life. The ideas from my videos are frequently adapted from multiple sources. Many of them come from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, especially the work of Steven Hayes, Jason Luoma, and Russ Harris. The sections on stress and the mind-body connection derive from the work of Stephen Porges (the Polyvagal theory), Peter Levine (Somatic Experiencing) Francine Shapiro (EMDR), and Bessel Van Der Kolk. I also rely heavily on the work of the Arbinger institute for my overall understanding of our ability to choose our life’s direction.
And deeper than all of that, the Gospel of Jesus Christ orients my personal worldview and sense of security, peace, hope, and love https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/comeuntochrist/believe

God always helps me reduce my stress/anxiety by only one Bible verse. John 3:16 ‘For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him, shall not perish but have everlasting life.’ Instantly able to breathe again. But this was really nice it is nice to move your body and shake the stress out! Thank you 🙂

To mange stress Planet Ayurveda’s purely herbal formulation ‘Stress Support’ is the best way to tackle stress.
Omg it worked 🎉tysm
Planet Ayurveda’s Vikramprash has been a great addition to my routine. My stress levels are much lower.
Thumbs down only b/c you said better help sponsored. Look up the past 3 company names they used before and had to change b/c of all the corruption.
I was stressed so when I saw your involonuntary kick at the chair I bursted into laugh

Kindness can be so beautiful sometimes u have to treat your self like a kid
If you can fix it in 3 minutes it’s not stress
First rate was 9 and after that I think 3
I think back to my younger days, even a year ago. I’m 15 now and I just want to rewind one year so I can live like a real human. This anxiety has fucjed my life, I don’t feel alive, I don’t sleep like a human, I don’t eat like a human, and for the smallest thing I overthink like hell
Omg it helped! Nothing helped for hours but this did!!! ❤❤❤❤
Stress Support Capsules have brought a sense of calm and peace to my daily life.
you’re stressing me out more by not going straight to the point.
Beeing massaged on my neck and/ or back reduces stress for me. Just 10 minutes getting a little massage from my boyfriend helps much.
Thank , I will definitely use these techniques. I felt more relaxed after trying it.
I love this one so much! I have it saved in a file called immediate help and it does the trick every time! I appreciate you
