Stress Management | Medical - Stress Management | Medical | Intro Session 1

I'm glad that you've decided to join us for the Stress Management course. Each session of our course consists of a warm-up talk followed by a hands-on component where you'll learn a new skill or idea and have a chance to start putting these skills into action. If you've signed up to practice live with the community, which is what we recommend, you'll have access to the Session Talk on the right-hand side of the screen. Using this feature, you can interact with other community members, share your questions and insights, and Tweet about the session. We're going to start the Stress Management course by taking a look at how we deal with stress and anxiety and how big of a role it has in our lives. Before we can work on relieving stress, we need to understand what stress is, how it impacts us, and how can we take control of it. Increasing our awareness of stress’s harmful impacts can make it easier to take control of it. Thankfully, there are others who have devoted their careers to just that. In the following TED Talk, Jaime Tartar, an Associate Professor of Psychology at Nova Southeastern University, speaks about stress; how our brains interpret stressful situations, our responses and how these can be damaged by stress. After the session, you'll be offered a chance to share your impressions with Budd, your automated digital coach who will give you personalized feedback and further recommendations. We think you'll find that the more you put into the course, the more you'll get out of it. So, take full advantage of all our features and find your place in a community of people facing similar challenges. Enjoy!
