Stages of Stress Presentation Transcript:
1.Stages of stress.
2.In response to stressful events, you can experience one, two or all of the following stages:
3.Stage 1: Mobilization of Energy
All bodily activity is increased in response to a stressor that is frightening.
This starts the body's ‘fight or flight’ reaction, causing the release of adrenalin. You feel your heart pounding and your palms sweaty. This is called primary stress.
4.When you put yourself into the stressful circumstances it’s called secondary stress.
It’s symptoms include :
increased heart rate and blood pressure, rapid breathing, sweating and decreased digestion rate, creating butterflies and indigestion
5.If there is no escape from Stage 1, the body will begin to release stored sugars and fats, using up its bodily resources and the symptoms of this second stage will be a driven feeling, pressured feeling and tiredness/fatigue, in parallel with anxiety and, sometimes, memory loss.
6.The body's need for energy resources exceeds its ability to produce them. Symptoms include serious illnesses such as:
heart disease,
ulcers,
mental illness,
insomnia,
errors in judgement and personality changes
