Ron Eslinger EMS STRESS Class

This video clip is from a workshop I presented at the request of the County Emergency Medical Service (EMS). First responders were exhibiting signs of stress which for many progressed to anxiety, depression, PTSD, and even suicidal thoughts. EMS supervisors attended the class to use communication and stress relieving skills, emphasizing the value of sending for professional help.
Everyone knows how bad stress is for your health and happiness. It can cause all sorts of problems like insomnia, muscle tension, and stomach pain, and if left untreated, can lead to health issues like high blood pressure, heart disease, and obesity. But what if everything you thought you knew about stress is wrong?
This course will challenge the common belief that stress harms our health, help you rethink your attitude about stress, and teach you how to cope with, accept, and even embrace the stress in your life.
To demonstrate the effect of the mind on the body, I would like a volunteer to come up front for a demonstration. (Have volunteer face the group, put out dominant arm and hand to the right or left at shoulder level. Have the volunteer think a sad thought and to continue that thought, and resist as you push down on the arm. The arm is easy to push down, showing a noticeable loss of strength. Do the same thing, but have the volunteer think a happy thought and resist. The difference is noticeable.) It appears that if a sad thought can cause one to lose power in their arm, it follows that day after day, week after week, month after month, sad and negative thinking can cause harm to one's body.
The wise man of Proverbs realized the relationship of body, mind, and spirit, for he wrote, "A cheerful heart does good like a medicine, but a broken spirit makes one sick." (Proverbs 17:22)
