Well said! Pity that more areas of society don't recognise that stress is real, it ia a medical problem and is inherently dangerous and realated to bpth depression and essentially to chronic depression and chronic pain. It also is one of the major contributing factors which moves shyness to chronic shyness and other similar orders.. I am suprised how many counsellors are not aware of the effects of stress. I also find that stress is amongst the more difficult illnesses to locate the real causes rather than the obvious, especiually as for example, it is often a symptom of many psyciatriatric and medical illnesses. Stress in injured patients who are suffering trauma aftert such things as a MVA is one of the major factors which can increase the onset of serious shock which is often fatal and causes most of the deaths in that perios of time when paramedics deliver a patient to an emergency ward and when treatment starts unless the patient has constantly given reassurance and not left alone.. Not suprisingly, often a few words of comfort and basic human kindness as well as some small amount of human contact can aleviate many of the more dire aspacts of both stress and shock....
There is a time and place for punishment and unlike some others, I believe that there is a vast difference between punishment as a game and puniushment as a means of enforcing disclipline. Punishment doesn't have to mean a beating, it can be additionsl duties and/or a retraining as well as just the knowledge that the culprit has been found less than pleasing.
