"I would read articles about a 26-year-old entrepreneur with a billion-dollar company or a 16-year-old kid who invented a new kind of fusion reactor and a slow creep of panic would start to rise in my chest."
Great description of how we notice our stressful emotional responses in our bodies.
I agree with the article, and also know how hard it can be to "just stop" thinking those thoughts or having that physical response.
I'm launching a service to support software engineers in resolving exactly this kind of response!

I recently worked with someone who described "paralyzing jealousy" when reading about companies that raised a ton of money -- pretty much the same thing described in the article. We resolved it in one session so that response no longer comes up for them. No more slow panic in the chest :)
