Help me improve my ability to manage stress

Clinical Psychologist Dr Damon Ashworth interviews Neuropsychologist Dr Harvey Jones about all things stress-related. 

They talk about: 

* what stress is

* if stress is ever a positive thing

* the difference between the benefits of acute stress and the negatives of chronic stress

* the potential detrimental health factors of chronic stress

* what people can do if stress is negatively impacting their health or lives

* if it is possible to lower someone's stress levels just by changing the way that they think about things

* whether thinking or behavioural strategies are more important for lowering stress

* the main traps that people can fall into that lead to stress becoming worse over time

* what resilience is and how it can be built up

* whether or not social support is crucial for better managing stress.

Harvey then ends the podcast with his three key take-aways for helping people to better manage their stress.
