A

Four years into my Ph.D. program, my hands started to go numb each night as I slept.

I

didn't

think

much

of

it

at

the

time.

Then

one

night,

while

sound

asleep,

I

somehow

mistook

my numb arm for a snake. I threw myself out of bed and woke in a panic. I later discovered

that this nighttime event wasn't simply a strange dream.

At

that

time,

I

was

working

toward

my

Ph.D.

and

training

to

be

a

clinical

psychologist.

There

was

never

enough

time

to

occupy

myself

fully

in

my

world.

The

exams

constantly

worried

and even scared me.

Later

that

year,

while

discussing

a

patient's

symptoms

with

a < /p>

neurologist

（神经学家）

,

I realized that my anxiety could be the direct cause of the numbness in my hands. There

was

a

certain

irony

（讽刺）

in

that

realization.

I'd

spent

years

learning

about

psychological

tools for dealing with stress and anxiety. But until then it never occurred to me that I,

too,was experiencing an abnormal level of stress and anxiety.

Now, I specialize in helping take a healthier approach to dealing with the pressures

of

academics.

l've

seen

firsthand

how

many

of

them

possess

inner

voices

demanding

perfection

and telling them that the sacrifices are necessary for success.

My

message

to

those

I

work

with

is

that

being

overworked

and

stressed-out

is

unhealthy.

Achievements

and

health

can

be

both

gained.

So,

when

your

inner

alarm

bells

send

you

a

warning

signal

—

or when snakes attack in the night

—

don't hesitate; take action.

They

to

on separation-related behaviors, like trembling when left behind. Dogs with high scores

on this behavior entered adolescence earlier

—

at about 5 months, compared with 8 months

for those with lower scores. Various factors cause human teenage girls with poor parental

relationships to also enter adolescence at a younger age. Thus, similar to humans, dogs

that have bad relationships with their caregivers see changes in their development.
