Description:
Stress is a part of everyday living. World events such as the September 11th terrorist attacks and the devastating tsunami in Thailand leave people struggling with painful memories and an overwhelming sense of loss. Each person is different and handles traumatic events in a unique way. Traumatic events can trigger a number of physical problems, such as stomach problems, trouble sleeping, and headaches.
