Mental health
Four guides, and the throughline is treatment described specifically enough to actually use: which technique, how many minutes, cited to the trial that tested it.
The anxiety guide leads with the physiological sigh and 5-4-3-2-1 grounding because they work in under two minutes, not because they're trendy. The cortisol piece exists because most 'cortisol detox' plans just repackage sleep and screen-time advice under a scarier name. Morning meditation gets a real eight-week timeline instead of a promise of instant calm, and the solo-travel guide covers what nobody warns you about: day four's flatness, the post-trip re-entry slump.
None of this replaces a therapist, and the guides say so wherever it matters.
