Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the General Adaptation Syndrome (GAS) model, which describes the body's physiological response to stress in three stages: Alarm, Resistance, and Exhaustion.
Recognize that before any stress exposure occurs, the body is in a state called Homeostasis, where physiological functions are balanced and anxiety levels are low.
Identify that the Alarm stage is the initial reaction to stress, where anxiety and physiological arousal increase as the body prepares to respond.
Note that during the Resistance stage, the body attempts to adapt to the ongoing stress, and anxiety may be elevated but managed.
Understand that the Exhaustion stage occurs when the body's resources are depleted after prolonged stress, often leading to high anxiety and potential health issues.
