Stress is probably higher risk. Notice your triggers and integrate stress reduction at that present time. It's sort of reprogramming your self. Not into NLP though.

Well, having a gruesome headache and unable to think straight or function is certainly a stressor.
As I mentioned, I practice stress reduction techniques on a daily basis. I have studied and practiced them for years, from older traditions and today's teachers. I even teach them to others. People often comment on my calm and peaceful state and demeanor.
Stress is not the culprit here. The culprit is chemical poisoning.

Many sofas produce toxic formaldehyde.

Some VOCs are toxic. Perfumes are not. You can look up their safety data sheets.
Also, that's a nice story, but I already practice stress reduction techniques on a daily basis for other stressors. I also regularly assess myself for stress level so that I know to apply them.
When my partner bought a couch that off-gassed from the particleboard for months, I was not stressed by it. I did, however, develop a severe headache, disorientation, and migraine-like symptoms.
