I have found many ways of dealing with stress over the years. I exercise, do breathing techniques and practice mindfulness. But even with all that, I feel I could do with a little help from time to time. Kelley Russell, Ph.D, is a clinical psychologist who meets many veterans feeling stressed or anxious with her work. She says, âItâs just important to realize that stress is a natural part of life. Everyone should feel stressed sometimes. Stress can be good in that it motivates us perhaps to deal with things, but you just need to be reflective and aware when that stress is becoming too much.â
