Myths Do More Harm Than Help
Let”s be honest, people often expose themselves to stress, says Maai. Over the years, she has treated over 1, 000 patients and listed the main misconceptions and fears associated with stress.
Myth 1: Stress affects romantic feelings and leads to divorce. Myth 2: If sexual desire is lost, it will never return.
Myth 3: If we don”t attract our partner when we”re stressed, they will love us more.
This mindset is destructive. When we convince ourselves that the damage is irreversible, we no longer feel the strength to resist self-destruction.
