PODCAST SHOW NOTES

Episode 5 (Part 1 of 4 series)

TECHNO STRESS - Fight or flight is in all of us and serves a very useful purpose when it kicks in at the right time. What happens when it kicks in and doesn’t stop? Techno Stress is a term that best describes the way we seem to living our lives today. Rather than being the masters of our machines and devices, too often we become their slaves. There are techniques to help manage this dilemma, like better time management. But what happens when you are not the one in control? With insatiable appetite for instant information and response, we often put undue pressure on ourselves and others to the point that it will and does affect our health.

Maud Purcell deals with these issues daily in her practice as a psychotherapist and Maud Purcell MSW, LCSW, CEAP is the Executive Director of The Life Solution Center of Darien, CT. Her approach is short-term and solution-focused. She recognizes that most dilemmas have straightforward, common-sense solutions. Maud weaves a unique blend of warmth and humor into her work. She holds a Bachelor’s Degree from Trinity College (Hartford, CT). She completed her graduate studies at the University of South Carolina (Summa cum Laude).
