Stress<\/strong> is the response of the body when it needs to adapt<\/strong> to its environment (Hans Selye). It is absolutely necessary and concerns all ages, even childhood. It allows us to face the demands that we encounter. Positive stress is essential, and it is the excess of stress that can be harmful<\/strong> for the body when it lasts too long.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Bad stress<\/strong> is often linked to life changes or unexpected events (mourning, divorce, break-up, expatriation, illness, unemployment, pregnancy, accidents, traumas etc\u2026) and shows itself in many various ways from one person to another. Stress will have an impact on different levels:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Physical<\/strong>: migraines, back pain, muscular tensions, palpitations, hyperventilation, fatigue, dizziness, sleeping disorders, insomnia, nausea, vomiting\u2026<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Emotional<\/strong>: agitation, anxiety, panic attacks, irritability and anger, depression and sadness\u2026<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Cognitive<\/strong>: memory and concentration problems, general pessimism, anxious thoughts, difficulties in making decisions\u2026<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Behavioural: <\/strong>changes in eating habits, abuse of alcohol, tobacco and drugs, solitude, inability to relax\u2026<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Stress management deals with burnout<\/strong> too. Burnout consists in a state of mental, emotional and physical exhaustion<\/strong> that results from a prolonged investment in emotionally demanding work situations (Schaufeli and Greenglass). It is characterized by: extreme fatigue (feeling totally drained), a certain cynicism about the work itself, one\u2019s clients and colleagues, and a feeling of incompetence and personal non-fulfilment.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
