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.
