Stress Reduction According to the American Institute
of Stress, the term “stress” was first coined by Hans Selye in 1936 to mean, “the non-specific response of the body to any demand for change” (Stress.org, 2014).

What is Stress? Although we tend to think of stress as caused by external events, events
in themselves are not stressful. Rather, it is the way in which we interpret and react to events that makes them stressful. People differ dramatically in the type of events they interpret as stressful and the way in which they respond to such stress. For example, speaking in public can be stressful for some people and relaxing for others.
