He also says that different stressors can cause the same bodily reaction. This is called the General Adaption Syndrome, which consists of 3 stages of coping. Stage 1 is the Alarm Stage, where the body's reaction is fight or flight. Stage 2 is the Resistance Stage, where the body's reaction is to adapt by returning to the normal biological state. Stage 3 is the Exhaustion Stage, this is where the body's reaction is to conserve and bodily resources, heart rate and respiration slow down. ]]> 2018-02-13 02:40:29 UTC https://padlet.com/mmcintire0921/j388nj6t6k8i/wish/230892542 mmcintire0921 https://padlet.com/mmcintire0921/j388nj6t6k8i/wish/230894161 Harmony is a fulltime student, single mom, and exotic dancer. For a year now, it has been very stressful for her. While at work she has to decide whether she should do her homework to get a career, or make money to put food on the table for her and her child. The first stage of her stress is the Alarm stage, where the fight or flight mode kicks in and she thinks about quitting school. This is an automatic defense reaction. As this stress persists, the next stage of coping comes along, this is the Resistance stage. Her body tries to adapt to the lack of sleep and the stress, causing anger, fatigue, and irritability. If the stress continues, the body will go into the Exhaustion stage. In this stage, the body starts to slow down, the heart rate and respiration decrease. The body becomes exhausted to a dangerous point. This stage can be cause for what Selye calls "diseases of adaption", such as depression and kidney disease. ]]> 2018-02-13 02:53:09 UTC https://padlet.com/mmcintire0921/j388nj6t6k8i/wish/230894161
