Stress begins with a perception of threat

Stress begins with a perception of threat. Then emotions join in – anger, fear or both. A chain reaction of neuro chemical responses is triggered and released through our thoughts and body – for flight or fight.

The bad stress -pushes you over the edge of comfort.

Anger and fear are survival emotions and meant to last only long enough to get out of harm’s way. This is valid for all animals. Unlike other animals human allow anger and fear to linger for days, months and even years.

Stress distorts decision making, emotional thought processing and compromises the human spirit.
