Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights:#1 Stress is inevitable and omnipresent. It is a result of reacting psychologically and physically to the potential for change in our environment. Our bodies react by secreting stress chemicals and hormones.#2 The HPA axis is activated when we are faced with a threat, and it doesn’t have a well-defined end point. The stress chemicals are chronically secreted, and we cannot fight nor flee. We feel trapped and impotent.
