WHAT IS STRESS & HOW CAN WE MANAGE IT BETTER?

Posted by on

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.

When we think of stress, we often just think of an annoying friend, traffic or financial issues.

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
