	Stress \| The Psychology of Stress Management
		Maybe “stress” is just a convenient myth to shift responsibility for life away from ourselves and onto something so vague that everyone can love to hate it.
		In fact, if you need a stress test to discover how much your resources are being challenged by changes in your life, forget the score—the very fact that you’re so out of touch with your body and your mental health as to need a stress test is a clinical statement in itself.
		The practice of good clinical psychology involves something—call it comfort—which does not mean sympathy or soothing, and it certainly doesn’t mean to have your pain “taken away.” It really means to be urged on to take up the cup of your destiny, with courage and honesty.

	Psychology Today: Stress: It's Worse Than You Think
		In the past stress tolerance may have been chalked up to mental fortitude: "He's a rock," or "She's really bearing up under pressure." Now it's clear that our ability to withstand stress has less to do with whether we are strong-willed than with how much and what kind of stress we encountered in the past.
		From this evidence researchers have concluded that the stress response is "wired" into the brain, that we inherit the same ancient reactions that jump-started hunter-gatherers to escape a charging saber-tooth tiger without having to give their actions time-consuming thought.
		By responding to the stress of everyday life with the same surge of biochemicals released during major threats, the body is slowly killing itself.
