[QUOTE="pepperidge, post: 13574, member: 2322"] Dreamer thanks so much for posting this. I found the first article on the stress test stuff very interesting. and the bodysoul one very good in terms of addressing all the different ways one can deal with stress. I am wondering for those of you that have some help from someone(therapists?) addressing the stress issue. What do they do that you find most helpful? I guess I am thinking for myself that I try to do at least some of what is recommended (exercise, etc), but there doesn't seem to be anyone in my life that helps me affirm how stressful this all is and helps me deal with it. (MOstly I get from my parenting counselor discussions of what problems I am having with the kids and how i could handle things differently). I wonder how important it would be to have that affirmation, how to get it, whether it has helped any of you. I am thinking that maybe "traditional" therapists may not be the best people to help... Don't know whether that makes any sense. Insomnia is one of my big reactions to all the stress and I am very weary... [/QUOTE]
