Sturgeon Bay Psychologist Dr. Dennis White says stress management can be controlled by challenging your thinking. He says that we are consistently talking to ourselves in our heads. Our thoughts can be a mixture of rational and irrational ones.

Dr. White recommends challenging your thoughts when they may not be reasonable, thus lowering the heat and reducing emotional pressures. Choosing safer options when making decisions can help limit risks that can jeopardize your wellbeing. You can listen to Dr. White’s entire Mental Health Minute on stress reduction below.
