Stress Response Course

Stress Response Course:

Dear Friend,

If we’ve never met, can I still call you a friend and pour you a pretend cup of coffee for this conversation? (If you don’t like coffee, we can still be friends, but I am sad for you!)

Stress—maybe you feel some? Who knew talking about stress, trauma, and triggers could be fun? Imagine laughing as we chat about our typical responses and how they may change based on who or what the stress is coming from!
