Discussion #1: last news on stress + how do we handle stress in our lives?
On April 25th, Fox News published the article: "Stress is hard on a woman's heart, study suggests" based on a study presented at the Experimental Biology meeting in San Diego, CA. Briefly, the study suggests that under stressful conditions, men and women show differences in increasing coronary blood flow, which is actually not present in women. Although the sample was relatively small, including 17 people, and further studies in the field are still necessary, the study brings an interesting perspective to understand stress and stress management.
Besides, I invite you to participate in a survey created by me with the intent to understand the most common responses people have when under stress. This survey is short, having only 6 questions, and will only take few minutes of your time. I also coordinated a similar poll in LinkedIn, in the group "Psychologists, coach, psychotherapists and counselors", which I participate. It was a small poll during the last few months and I would like to compare answers and patterns. Your participation will contribute to the continuation of this discussion in this blog, which will include presentation and discussion on the results and stress management tips! To take the survey go to http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/726XHX5
I greatly appreciate it!

Because we still don't have enough people taking the survey, I will give the survey one more week and get back to you with results. I will also compare the results from this survey with the ones from a poll I created in LinkedIn. Meanwhile, I would appreciate your participation! Nadjla
