What
is stress?
Let me remind
you that stress is an "overreaction" of
the body in front of aggressive stimulus
from the outside or from your own body.
|
When
stress occurs as a response to aggressive
outside agents like aggressions, injuries,
contusions or irritating chemical substances,
we call it physical
stress.
|
If
stress is caused by intense emotions, repetitive "negative" thoughts,
or inappropriate body behavior, we call it
psychical stress.
|
|
|
| |
| Which are the reactions to stress? |
 |
Physical
stress can promote a number of "overreactions":
|
|
|
|
| Psychical
stress can show itself by several symptoms, such
as: |
|
 |
negative
emotions: "overalertness", anguish,
fear, anger, sadness, depression;
|
|
|
negative
thoughts: nightmares, insomnia, recurrent
conflictive memories;
|
|
|
inappropriate
fixed behavioral patterns: aggression,
revenge, submission, family violence;
|
|
|
misperception
about: sight, hearing and feelings;
|
|

spiritual
suffering: (sense or irreality, existential
or mystical conflicts).
