The brain and body is designed
for temporary stress response
▪ In a healthy environment, the cause of the stress is only
temporary.
▪ Once the threat has gone, the stress levels go back down again
in the body.
▪ If the stress response is activated over and over again too quickly,
the stress chemicals do not have a chance to go back down.
▪ They can get stuck at high threat response.
▪ In these cases, a person’s safety strengths are at constantly high
levels.
