U.S. doctors and Harvard University researchers report that 60 to 90 percent of medical visits are stress related. This may apply to you or someone you love.

Drugs may mask our symptoms without resolving the causes of chronic pain, anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, insomnia or other emotional distress. We all need reliable skills we’re comfortable with to effectively respond to life’s troubling events.
