Brain Stress Answers

6. If we keep experiencing stressors and there is not enough

time in between for blue stress levels to reduce, they can

become locked permanently on high.

When this happens, it turns to red toxic stress. This is bad

for the brain and body. It stops brain circuitry building. It

is also bad for our physical health – our immune system is

compromised and digestive system doesn’t work so well.

hard for them to remember, process information and

concentrate. They may become defensive very easily and

find it difficult to manage emotions. They may be hyper or

lethargic.
