Do you feel like you are under more stress than is healthy?

According to a large survey by the American Psychological Association (APA) last year, most American adults live with more stress than they think is healthy – a 5.1 on a scale of one to 10, when they consider a 3.6 healthy. 

How can we find the balance in life between fulfilling work, meaningful relationships, and other pleasures? Here is an interesting article in News & World Report. Dr. Davenport at Charles R. Davenport, Psy.D., LLC. works to help you find ways to feel less stressed. Counseling and therapy services are offered to couples and individuals in Venice and Sarasota, FL.
