Description
Toxic stress is the strong activation of the body's stress management system in absence of protective support. It means that the person is subconsciously worried that something bad might happen and this takes a tremendous toll on the body. It affects everyone and makes us nervous during common events in our life.
Toxic stress:
derails brain development (source: 1)
is responsible for the majority of adult addictions, incarcerations and chronic health problems (source: 2)
Reduces lifespan by 20 years (34 if involved with hard drugs) (source: 3)
Don't believe those last two bullets? Neither did we. Until we read the hundreds of studies that reinforce these discoveries.
This course teaches what it is and how to reduce it in ourselves and our loved ones.

Was done in a way that made it clear and easy to understand and I learned a lot of new information. Thanks!
Sure, it was a good match. I sometimes got confused when I was rerouted to another website that had a sequence of course content entries of its own in the sidebar, and I didn't know if I should watch ALL the items or not before returning to the main website, because some of the items (intros?) overlapped with those on the main website.
That is quite interesting fact about "toxic stress". Thank you for bringing this course.
Very Very interesting and explained in a way the makes it easy to understand.
merci
loving this course so far!
This is really a contributing Content. Though few of these techniques is already used by me out of self-learnings it feels touched and absorbing like personally made for me. Would love to keep in touch of any new additions or updates on these knowledge. Practicing few methods earlier by experience and learning these in theory is mind capturing.
this is something new to learn. Looking forward to complete this course and learn something necessary for day to day basis.
Very basic intro. But worth the time to go through it
Finally a course that is practical for my family.
