NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – A new study suggests that women in stressful jobs are at a higher risk for serious health problems.

The study, which followed 22,000 women working in a diverse range of fields over 10 years, found that females in stressful professions have a 70 percent higher chance of heart attack and 40% increased occurrences of other cardiovascular traumas than women with less pressure at work.

So how can you beat the stress? And how is stress different for men and women?

Holistic counselor Erika Weber joined The Couch on Thursday to tackle these topics.
