Five Minutes Per Day of Deliberate Self-Directed Stress

Very brief daily deliberate stress exposure, potentially for 2 weeks, is presented as a promising protocol for recalibrating stress/fear systems. He emphasizes self-directed entry into the stressed state and cautions that longer bouts like 15 minutes/day may worsen trauma/fear. Methods can include deliberate cold exposure such as a cold shower, ice bath, or cold water immersion.

I do think that deliberate self-directed entry into these short bouts of stress is a very promising approach.
