Stress is the aspect of anxiety that we feel in our body. Worry is about thoughts, but stress is how our muscles tense, our breathing becomes labored, we hurt, and our hands sweat. Stress is the physiological response to perceived danger. The good news is that you can train your mind and body to stay calm by doing simple activities throughout the day.

On me:
My name is Emma McAdam. I am a licensed marriage and family therapist and have worked in a variety of change and growth settings since 2004. My experience includes juvenile corrections, adventure therapy programs, wilderness therapy programs, a eating disorder treatment center, a residential treatment center and I currently work in an outpatient therapy clinic.

In therapy, I use a combination of acceptance and commitment therapy, systems theory, positive psychology, and a bio-psycho-social approach to treat mental illness and other challenges we all face. faced in life. The ideas in my videos are frequently adapted from several sources. Many of these come from acceptance and commitment therapy, particularly the work of Steven Hayes, Jason Luoma, and Russ Harris. The sections on stress and the mind-body connection arise from the work of Stephen Porges (polyvagal theory), Peter Levine (somatic experiencing), Francine Shapiro (EMDR), and Bessel Van Der Kolk. I also rely heavily on the work of the Arbinger Institute for my overall understanding of our ability to choose the direction of our lives.
And deeper than all of this, the gospel of Jesus Christ guides my personal worldview and sense of security, peace, hope, and love https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/comeuntochrist/believe
