What Can I Do To Help Prevent and Cope With Stress?

Prevention and management of stress, like stress itself, is a very individual matter. In general, people benefit most from the technique for which they are best suited psychologically. Some may wish to talk at length to another individual to help them understand the root of their problem. Others may wish to seek the support of group therapy which may be valuable in providing needed social support. Two major coping techniques have been identified:

1. Refusing to accept the notion that a situation is irreversible;
2. Endurance by seeking and gaining the support of others.
