Do, do you think that because the technical name might be allostatic load, I suppose, we're carrying all of this stress based on thoughts and predictions and anxieties and ruminations, um, uh, do, do you think that it's the kind of thing that people can learn to manage effectively?

Absolutely, I do.

I think people can develop, um, skills, mechanisms that help them to manage all of this.

Just by understanding, I think, yourself and your tendency to live in the past, live in the future, that can be really helpful.

It can be really helpful to reality test, you know, for, um, particularly about the future.

Okay, has this happened? Will...

You know, what is the likelihood that it will happen? Even if it does happen, will I be able to cope with it? I think developing sort of cognitive behavior therapy-type skills can be really helpful in, um, shutting down the stress response when it's not adaptive.

breast.[singing] You steal a kiss.

How sweet it is.

Under the apple tree.

[guitar strums]

Yeah.

Gather around, girls, let me tell you 'bout the crisis that is here.

At the end, I will see our final victory.

I know that we don't all believe that it'll be what it'll be.

But a crisis tears indeed, like a boulder gathering in speed.

If we fail to act upon it, might mean the chance has been lost, and we will have too late to win.
