The final piece of the recipe for resolution. The feeling of "good and enough" is available when you have taken charge of your part of stress. You come at it from self-knowledge and practical resources to modify the anxiety factor.  

Living in real time demands timely reactions. A sense of urgency occurs with stress and a sense of being pushed to act with anxiety. Experimenting with who and when and where you act on resolving stress is a key to practicing proactive stress relief.

Practical responses to anxiety and stress include the choice of using a known response that works or finding new resources to use…What can I try that will lower stress?

The stress resolution process begins with Stop/Wait – I  know what is going on and why. Now, a series of questions helps lower anxiety. Dr. Denning takes you through the next steps of building self-direction from within stressful situations through "complete communication."

The multiple dimensions evolve from learned expectations of  self and other. Self-expression is developed by understanding who you can be expressive to and who will not understand. Learn how you react to specific people or social roles in the podcast as Dr. Denning helps you see the cues of stress in expectations of others and your own reactions.
