I'll provide the other side of the coin.
I've been a climber now for at least a decade, and programming for just under that long. I only started getting pain in the last 5 months, almost directly coinciding with the startup I'm working for raising a round, moving cities, being acquired, and a personal decision to go from development to technical sales. It's probably been the most chaotic 5 months of my life, and I'm getting wrist pain for the first time ever.
I think this post will probably put me over the edge -- more vacations, and it may actually be time to go talk to a doctor.

I personally see a therapist once a week, and pay out of pocket for the privilege of gaining some clarity about my life and my actions. I've tried various different modalities and settled on contemplative psychotherapy as a great fit for myself (it helps that I'm at the epicenter here in Boulder): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contemplative_psychotherapy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contemplative_psychotherapy I will say that my experience has not emphasized the "religious" aspect that the article mentions, and instead focuses on the non-linear, ever-changing perception of self and how that relates to my actions and experiences.
