Each of us has our own lived experience of stress. The ways that we react to stress can be physical, emotional, and instinctual. When we experience stress, we may not be able to fully engage in fight, flight, or freeze responses. As a result, shortly after the experience, we may find that we have lingering feelings that are unpleasant or that we engage in behaviors which indicate the presence of leftovers from the stressful event.

When feelings of concern, fear, frustration, anger, or numbness are present shortly after the stressful event, this may indicate an incomplete stress cycle. If we experience rumination, engage in self-criticism, or wish to isolate ourselves from others, these could be leftovers from the recently experienced stressful situation.

Informed by self-compassion, we will spend our time together exploring stress that arises in association with events and their aftermath and looking into the factors which contribute to making a situation stressful. We’ll discuss how to take action to complete stress cycles, how to address leftovers from the stressful experience, and how to analyze a stressor to determine why we react to it. Lunch is included. Guided by Jenifer Kirin.
