Stress in a Dress

A Laughter-Filled-Learning and Stress-Busting-“Gift”for Stressed-Out Women…and the Men Who Love, Live, Learn, Play — and Work with — Us!

Prior to 1995, over 83% of stress research studied only males. That’s right…only 17% of the people studied, in stress research before 1995, were female. Through recent scientific research we now appreciate that:

• Both men and women experience acute stress.
• Our bodies, and minds, respond very differently.
• Many men have natural “fight or flight” stress responses.
• Many women need “tend and befriend” responses to cope with stress.
• We all need frequent stress recovery opportunities.

Stress-Busting Highlights:

• Stress Physiology & Psychology
• Identifying Your Stress Triggers
• Avoiding “Emotional Hijacking”
• New Research on the Key Role Gender Plays in Stress & Distress
• Ideal Stress Recovery for the Unique Human Being You Are
