In the following booklet, you will explore a variety of different stressors; evaluate how those stressors impact each PIECE of your life (Physical, Interpersonal, Emotional, Cognitive, Environmental) and increase awareness of what triggers those stressors and how to prevent or manage them. It took years for your nervous system to become "unbalanced." It will take some time for you to begin to recognize things that caused you stress that actually were not threats; recognize stressors that you have control over and strengthen your "rest and digest" or relaxation response to more effectively downregulate your stress response.
