What does neuroscience say about how you can cope effectively with stress and improve your resilience? In this episode, Senior Consultant Kristian Lees-Bell and the Chief Psychology Officer Dr Amanda Potter discuss the physiological and neurological reaction to stress, and the emotions we feel as a result. This podcast explains the chemical response to stress and starts to outline some actions you can take to train yourself to calm the stress response and feel happier and stronger in times of difficulty.
