STAGES OF STRESS

RESISTANCE STAGEDuring this stage your body tries to cope or adapt

to the stressors by beginning a process of

repairing any damage the stressor has caused.

Your friends, family or co-workers may notice

changes in you before you do so it is important to

examine their feedback to make sure you do not

reach overload.

ALARM STAGEAs you begin to experience a stressful event or

perceive something to be stressful psychological

changes occur in your body. This experience or

perception disrupts your body’s normal balance

and immediately your body begins to respond to

the stressor(s) as effectively as possible.

EXHAUSTION STAGE During this stage the stressor is not

being managed effectively and the body

and mind are not able to repair the

damage.
