The question describes Mike as actively trying to suppress his emotions and not wanting to discuss stress in his life. This suggests that he is experiencing elevated blood pressure and increased autonomic arousal, as repressing emotions and avoiding stress can lead to heightened physiological responses in the body, such as increased heart rate and blood pressure. Barb, on the other hand, is likely experiencing decreased blood pressure and decreased autonomic arousal as she is actively discussing and processing her emotions.
