Election Stress and Recovery: Insights from Alan Charles
“Conflict is one of the main causes of stress, and we encounter it in our lives, whether it's conflict with coworkers, whether it's your family, significant others, friends, even people that we encounter on the street, and acquaintances that we don't even know well. Conflict virtually always takes a heavier toll on us than other forms of stress.”
