“I often from young customers, ‘Why do you feel that life is already overwhelming?’ They are not just talking about work stress. They feel pressure from all directions, such as career, finances, relationships, and even social media expectations. Compare this later with older customers who often describe this when the best stress that occurs later, perhaps in their 40s or 50s, financial or family responsibilities is heavy. Change is actually and damaged. ”
