Coping with stress
Stressors affect all our systems
We are constantly exposed to influences from the outside world but also from our own conscious and subconscious feelings and thoughts.
Stressors affect the body
Body functions can be affected by stressors in the outer world. For example heat, cold, physical trauma and more. Overload of muscles, joints and skeleton may also be a direct physical stressor.
Stressors affect the mind
Influences from the outer world, as well as disturbing symtoms from the body, may be experienced as threats and create frustration, anxiety and fear.
Mental stress acts on body systems
Anxiety, insecurity, frustration and anger triggers the physiologic fight-or-flight reaction.
