Google "Progressive Muscle Relaxation" and "Cognitive Behavioral Therapy" both help me a lot.

Both are covered in this book:

If she is a corp. exec. then she should make enough money to hire household help. If her husband says no, then he can do all the chores... her money can be used in any way she deems fit.

My wife is the regional quality director for a global medical testing lab. Do you think I tell her what she can spend money on?

If he isn't doing his share too then she should tell him to go f*** himself. If she thinks they can afford home help then she should be able to if she wants.

How come he's OK with her paying you but not a cleaner?

Recommend: firing the husband, then hiring a cleaner.

What if they have no money? An exec in Nigeria might not be as wealthy as a US exec. That's why I put in the bit about him pulling his weight; if he's getting her to do it all then get the guy whacked and find a new husband, but if he's doing his fair share then fair enough

I don't understand your point because fired husband = considerably less overhead = money to pay cleaner + money for whores, wodka and video games.

House work = long, boring and stressful.

If she needs stress relief, let her get a housekeeper, I say.

But, really, the source of the stress seems to come from work. You can let her get a housekeeper, but this won't be fixing the problem at the source.

Less hours. A vacation perhaps and she should talk to her employer about this. Also, I don't understand why the husband doesn't want to let her get housekeeper. IMO, this isn't helping either.

The best thing here is communicating with gentleness and diplomacy towards her husband. A marriage is a partnership and one that should be caring and consideration towards one another. Have her remind him of that and with love and thoughts of her to consider her request. If he says no then fire his ars!

Could be that he isn't a paid counselor, but a company provided counselor or something. Some companies do that (I think its a good idea, working in an office would drive me freaking nuts.) He might be using the term client loosely here.

Managing stress is all about taking charge: taking charge of your thoughts, your emotions, your schedule, your environment, and the way you deal with problems. The ultimate goal is a balanced life, with time for work, relationships, relaxation, and fun – plus the resilience to hold up under pressure and meet challenges head on.
