It is estimated that one in four people in the USA suffer from "severe emotional stress", often due to what is felt as a loss of internalized control. Many people learn to create more balance in their lives by simply enlisting the help of someone to hear their concerns and offer helpful strategies for coping with harmful stress and anxiety. Stress is not caused by an event itself but rather by your perception or reaction to that event; therefore, learning new behaviors and emotional responses to life’s difficult and stressful situations can often help lessen problems significantly.
