Do you frequently feel stressed and anxious? Today Lisa continues the interview with award-winning author and clinical therapist Faust Ruggiero, who discusses his step-by-step program he calls the “Process Way of Life,” which aims to help people achieve physical, intellectual, emotional, and spiritual balance. Faust explains how sometimes stress can take on other forms, such as restlessness, inability to sleep, anger, or irritability – these may all be signs of underlying anxiety. Faust believes that anxiety must be addressed physically first, then handle the mental component afterward. By deep breathing, and staying in the moment, we can begin to calm down the stress reaction. He also suggests implementing physical exercise and meditation, as well as beginning a mindfulness process.  

Faust’s career spans nearly 40 years. He has consistently established cutting-edge counseling programs in pursuit of professional excellence and personal life enhancement. He is a published research author, clinical trainer, and a therapist who has worked in settings which have included clinics for abused women, prisons, nursing homes, substance abuse centers, businesses, and major corporations, as well as inpatient facilities. He continues to provide counseling services for veterans, first responders, law enforcement, and other emergency personnel, and businesses and corporations, nationally, and internationally. He believes that self-care and emotional health are more important than ever and offers us a way to begin a journey out of darkness toward a brighter future. Info: FaustRuggiero.com.
