    UNDERSTANDING STRESS

    Stress is the body’s biological response to a perceived threat.


    The stress response sends chemicals and hormones surging through your body.
    That’s what causes your heart rate to increase or your stomach to flutter. It’s
    your body reacting to something it thinks could be dangerous.
    Stress alerts your brain and energizes your body. It gives you the heightened
    awareness you need to combat the perceived threat. The hypothalamus sends
    nerve and hormone signals to your adrenal glands. This causes the adrenal
    glands to release hormones like adrenaline and cortisol.  These hormones are
    nature’s way of increasing your chances of survival.
    Where Does Stress Come From?

    Most people experience a wide range of stressors every day.  Problems in our
    relationships, the demands of work, and traumatic events like losing a loved one
    are all triggers of stress. These triggers are called stressors. Some common
    examples of stressors include difficult relationships, problems at work, grief &
    loss, unemployment, academic pressure, health problems, and financial
    difficulties.But not all stressors are external. Many of the things that cause us
    stress are things we’ve internalized. Internal sources of stresScan include
    negative thinking, social anxiety, aggression, suppressed emotions, and
    exhaustion.
