Learning About Stress
I explained that, if stress chemicals get too high in
the body day after day, it can mean stress chemicals
do not go back down. They stay up high all the time.
If our stress stays up high day after day, it can
change what we call our ‘Balance of Life’. Our
balance can become skewed towards vulnerability.
When our Balance of Life is
skewed towards vulnerability
we can get paranoid more
easily and find it harder to
stay calm when things go
wrong for us. We are more
likely to get prickly very easily.
The good news is that we can do something about it. We can reset our
Balance of Life by working at reducing our cortisol levels. We will look at
that in one of the next sessions.
