I often wonder why it is so difficult to breathe when we are stressed. Oh, as a psychologist I understand the nature of fight or flight behavior, but as a regular "Joe" why must we always reach for a pill to deal with stress? Don't get me wrong - psychotropic medications have their place and I am grateful they exist. But nothing one takes for stress is without some side effect or risk - the details in pharmaceutical commercials that the announcer rushes through so quickly. I need time to think about my stress. What's bugging you Harris? Is there something that can be done to correct a situation that will alleviate my stress or am I (to borrow a self-help concept) powerless over it? Neuro-linguistic Programmers always say "take the time to take the time." Perhaps that sounds to simplistic, but I bet there are fewer side effects!
