Stress Inoculation

Build resilience by manageable, voluntary exposure to stress or difficult states followed by recovery, rather than trying to avoid all stressors; facing stress, putting it into perspective, and dealing with it can make you stronger.

There are studies, Karen Parker at Stanford has done some wonderful, uh, studies with primates about stress inoculation, that if you separate, uh, a baby monkey from his mother for two hours a day and then reunite them, and then you stress that baby monkey later, they actually handle stress better.
