Stress is an internal event. It is the result of an overly activated fight/flight mechanism that has not had a chance to wind down and return to a pre-activated mental and emotional state. A stress response may include increased blood pressure, hormone levels (cortisol, epinephrine/norepinephrine), heart rate, racing thoughts, irritability, negative cognition, depression, anger, as well as the decrease of patience, feelings of well being, hope and positive cognition. Psychotherapy would focus on journaling, finding certain triggers, meditation, mindfulness, bio-feedback, diet, regular exercise, weight management, getting enough sleep, EMDR, to name a few strategies.
