Guided Visualization: Dealing with StressDr. Krystal Lewis, a licensed clinical psychologist and researcher in the NIMH Intramural Research Program, explains what stress is and describes the parts of the brain that handle the “flight-fight- freeze” response. Dr. Lewis also leads a guided visualization activity, which may help you relax when you feel stressed out.
