The General Adaptation Syndrome describes the body’s three-phase (alarm, resistance, exhaustion) response to ongoing stress. Think of a particularly stressful time in your life, answer the following questions using information from your textbook to support your analysis:
1) Identify the stressor.
2) Describe your experience in the alarm phase. How did your mind, body, and emotions respond to the stressor?
3) What ways did you attempt to resist the stressor? How did your mind, body, and emotions respond to the stressor?
