“Yale researchers find where stress lives”

Researchers have recently turned their attention to the neural network between the hippocampus and hypothalamus. The subjects whose neural connections are stronger may in fact feel less stress. [This was tested solely by “troublesome images,” not by actually placing the test subjects in stressful situations!]

I must append that notwithstanding the likely medical/pharmacological interventions yet to be developed, hypnosis remains a remarkable tool for stress management. One cannot "relax stress away," but one can learn how to respond to the stressful stimuli without "getting stressed out."
