As an accredited Trauma Recovery Expert, Author, and Stress Is Gone Founder, who has helped thousands of people recover from the most traumatic events in their lives, it's shocking to see a talent like Matthew Perry pass too young, but we've seen this all too often: Whitney Houston, John Belushi, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Chris Farley, and Heath Ledger - talent and all the resources in the world do not make anyone immune to the self destructive drives and torment that comes from Trauma.

We live in a society that's constantly stressed out all day and coping all night and the lines are blurred by:

1) Screentime
2) Drugs & Alcohol
3) Over eating 

The quick way out is becoming body aware - walking towards everything we are running from by embracing the tension from the inside out. 

1) stress in our chest
2) stress in our minds
3) stress in our hearts

We need to think of this as a Jedi Mind Trick on our cells:

1) TOUCH -  the tension 
2) BREATHE - deep and slow 
3) and once per breath silently say, I'm OKAY, until all the tension melts away. 

Practice Stress Stopper Breathwork when you wake up, when you go to sleep, so you build the muscle memory to use the technique in the heat of the moment, when it matters most.
