Psychological states such as increased heart rate, blood pressure, anxiety, and stress inherent in the flight-or-fight response - designed to help us quickly respond in a dangerous situation - are commonplace when trading, restricting clear thinking and blocking the ability to make sound decisions. Over time, such states can have a detrimental effect on relationships, personal health, and well-being.

Help is available however, there is no need to suffer in silence: it's possible to learn valuable coping mechanisms that will allow you to maintain optimal mental health while honing what can be an unimaginably rewarding skill.
