They rise up, sometimes with surprising force, but then they crash and recede.

It's probably not news to you that we are living in extremely stressful times. Between political polarization, escalating natural disasters, and economic uncertainty, it seems like the barrage of bad news is constant. Of course, the problems of the world aren't the only things keeping us up at night - we all have our share of personal stressors that will compound our stress if not managed.
