WHAT IS STRESS & HOW CAN WE MANAGE IT BETTER?

Assessing PHYSIOLOGICAL LOAD (total current stress on the system) is a concept that was first taught to me by @paul.chek back in 2005 & is something that creates a big part of the basis for my intake forms starting with a new client.

Stress to anyone’s system is perceived or interpreted by key control systems of the body

  • The limbic / Emotional
  • Hormonal
  • Visceral
  • Nervous
  • Musculoskeletal
  • Plus a few key sub-systems
