Stress relief, self-care, meditation, and calming techniques are in vogue, but are they always what we need? Today, I speak with Dr. Martha Stark, a graduate of Harvard Medical School and the Boston Psychoanalytic Institute, and an Adult and Child Psychiatrist and an Integrative Psychoanalyst in private practice in Boston, Massachusetts. We discuss how stress is often good and must be kept at proper levels to maximize results.
