Episode 38: More Than Fight or Flight: Understanding Individual Stress Responses
Manage episode 471087035 series 3593068
We’ve all heard of fight or flight, but stress responses go far beyond that. Some people shut down, some take charge, and others people-please their way through a crisis. So why do we all react so differently? In this episode, we explore the complex, individualized nature of stress responses. From neurological wiring and past experiences to cultural influences and personality traits, we discuss why making assumptions about how someone should react under stress can be misleading. Whether in healthcare, education, or everyday life, understanding these variations can improve communication, patient care, and even our own resilience. Tune in as we challenge the one-size-fits-all view of stress and offer insights into recognizing and supporting different stress responses—both in ourselves and others.
