The mind is not limited to the brain. I'm talking about direct experience fostered by practice: actually observing how these things occur in real time, empiric observation, not intellectual abstractions.

I have no idea how you misunderstood "stress is actually physiological" as some kind of claim about dualism.

> The mind can be a contributing factor but it is absolutely not necessary. Injuries that you're entirely unconscious of can cause significant levels of stress which are measurable.

You're making a division between mind and body, stating that stress can occur without the mind.
