Is this therapy?+–
No. It is an educational program: it teaches stress-regulation techniques that come from research, but it does not diagnose or treat. If tension prevents you from functioning day to day, you have panic attacks, or symptoms persist despite your attempts — the right address is a psychologist or psychotherapist, and this program can be a supplement at most.
I have no time for another commitment.+–
A program day is about five minutes: a short lesson and one exercise woven into what you already do — a breath before email, a dump before sleep. The program deliberately requires no reserved time, because techniques that require it lose to life in the first bad week.
I have tried meditation and could not keep it up. How is this different?+–
Meditation is one technique — here there are a dozen-plus, one per day, and most take under two minutes. You do not have to sit in silence: you work on ordinary activities, emails and traffic jams. And if something does not work for you, the program teaches you to see it in numbers, not in guilt.
Can stress even be "removed"?+–
No — and the program does not promise that. The stress alarm is necessary; the problem is that in most of us it is miscalibrated: it fires at emails as if they were fires. The goal is calibration — rarer, weaker and shorter alarms — not a tension-free life, which does not exist.
How will I know it works?+–
From day two you measure tension with a number, three times a day, ten seconds each. After a month you compare your own data, not impressions: the height of the peaks and the speed of the descents. If the numbers stand still, you see it — and you know what to change.
What if I miss a few days?+–
You come back the next day and continue — the program is built on returns, not on perfect streaks. There is a catch-up mode and gentler exercise variants for worse days. The person who comes back after a break is ahead of everyone waiting for a perfect week.
