'We suffer more often in imagination than in reality'An executive sits in a quiet office, looking at an unread email from the board of directors.
Within seconds, her heart rate speeds up, her hands grow cold, and her mind jumps to worst-case scenarios: being fired, losing her career, or facing a public scandal.
By the time she opens the message half an hour later to find a simple meeting request, her body has already gone through intense physical stress.
