Jamie Talks . . . . Stress
The Jamie Talks..... Podcast with Amey - Ein Podcast von Jamie Forsyth

In this episode, we are talking about stress.We all know what it’s like to feel stressed. Being under pressure is a normal part of life, however, becoming overwhelmed by stress can lead to mental and physical health problems or make existing problems worse. How much stress affects us depends on how we learn to cope and our resilience levels. Resilience is the idea that you can build your tolerance level to pressure before it turns into stress. You can do this by living a healthy lifestyle and changing how you think and behave in certain situations and your reaction to life events. My amazing guest this week is John Peters.John came to the world’s attention in January 1991. On the first day of the Gulf War, a British Tornado bomber flown by John and his navigator was shot down over Iraqi territory and the two men were captured. After mental and physical torture, they were forcibly shown on Iraqi television. His disfigured image became a potent symbol of Saddam Hussein’s ruthless aggression. John spent seven weeks held captive. In this episode, John shares the stress he experienced, how he coped and discusses how to be more resilient.
