24 The Stress Response Dr. Hans Selye Dr. Walter Cannon 1930’s
‘ Flight or Fight Response’

25 How body reacts with stress psycho physiologically
Alarm response Adaptation Exhaustion

26 ALARM RESPONSE This is the “ Fight or Flight” response that prepares the body for immediate action.

27 ADAPTATION PHASE If the source persists, the body prepares for long-term protection, secreting hormones to increase blood sugar levels. This phase is common and not necessarily harmful, but must include periods of relaxation and rest to counterbalance the stress response. Fatigue, concentration lapses, irritability and lethargy result as the stress turns negative.

28 EXHAUSTION In chronic stress situations, sufferers enter the exhaustion phase: - emotional, physical and mental resources suffer heavily, the body experiences ‘ adrenal exhaustion’ leading to decreased stress tolerance, progressive mental and physical exhaustion, illness and collapse.

29 TYPES OF STRESSORS External Internal

30 EXTERNAL STRESSORS Physical Environment Social Interaction Organisational Major Life Events Daily Hassles

31 PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT Noise Bright Lights Heat Confined Spaces

32 SOCIAL INTERACTION Rudeness Bossiness Aggressiveness by others Bullying

33 ORGANISATIONAL Rules Regulations “Red - Tape” Deadlines

34 MAJOR LIFE EVENTS Birth Death Lost job Promotion Marital status change

35 DAILY HASSLES Commuting Misplaced keys Mechanical breakdowns

36 INTERNAL STRESSORS Lifestyle choices Negative self - talk Mind traps Personality traits

37 LIFESTYLE CHOICES Caffeine Lack of sleep Overloaded schedule

38 NEGATIVE SELF - TALK Pessimistic thinking Self criticism Over analysing

39 MIND TRAPS Unrealistic expectations Taking things personally All or nothing thinking Exaggeration Rigid thinking

40 PERSONALITY TRAITS Perfectionists Workaholics

41 TYPES OF STRESS Negative stress Positive stress

42 NEGATIVE STRESS It is a contributory factor in minor conditions, such as headaches, digestive problems, skin complaints, insomnia and ulcers. Excessive, prolonged and unrelieved stress can have a harmful effect on mental, physical and spiritual health.

43 POSITIVE STRESS Stress can also have a positive effect, spurring motivation and awareness, providing the stimulation to cope with challenging situations. Stress also provides the sense of urgency and alertness needed for survival when confronting threatening situations.

44 THE INDIVIDUAL Everyone is different, with unique perceptions of, and reactions to events. There is no single level of stress that is optimal for all people. Some are more sensitive owing to experiences in childhood, the influence of teachers, parents and religion etc.

45 Self Perception Most of the stress we experience is self-generated.
How we perceive life - whether an event makes us feel threatened or stimulated, encouraged or discouraged, happy or sad - depends to a large extent on how we perceive ourselves.

46 Introspection Self-generated stress is something of a paradox, because so many people think of external causes when they are upset. Recognising that we create most of our own upsets is an important first step towards coping with them.

47 SYMPTOMS OF STRESS Physical symptoms Mental symptoms Behavioural symptoms Emotional symptoms

60 Change your Thinking Re-framing Positive thinking

61 Re-framing Re-framing is a technique to change the way you look at things in order to feel better about them. There are many ways to interpret the same situation so pick the one you like. Re-framing does not change the external reality, but helps you view things in a different light and less stressfully.

62 Positive Thinking Forget powerlessness, dejection, despair, failure
Stress leaves us vulnerable to negative suggestion so focus on positives; Focus on your strengths Learn from the stress you are under Look for opportunities Seek out the positive - make a change.

63 Change your Behaviour Be assertive Get organised Ventilation Humour
Diversion

64 Being Assertive Being assertive involves standing up for your personal rights and expressing your thoughts, feelings and beliefs directly, honestly and spontaneously in ways that don’t infringe the rights of others.

65 Get Organised Poor organisation is one of the most common causes of stress. Structured approaches offer security against ‘out of the blue’ problems. Prioritising objectives, duties and activities makes them manageable and achievable. Don’t overload your mind. Organisation will help avoid personal and professional chaos.

68 ‘A problem shared is a problem halved’
Ventilation ‘A problem shared is a problem halved’ Develop a support network through friends or colleagues to talk with. It’s not always events that are stressful but how we perceive them. Writing a diary or notes may help release feelings but do not re-read what has been written.
