Stress can be relentless, negatively impacting our mental health and wellbeing. But, it's not all about the stressors. So often, it's not the actual stressor that causes us harm, but it's our thinking that takes us down. That's when stress turns into suffering. In this episode, Dr. Henry Emmons describes this relationship of stress, overthinking, and suffering. And most importantly, there are ways out of this snare. Those ways out are much of what we're working on in the remaining lessons of our podcourse.
