Welcome to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Day (CBT) on the forums!

Two days a week will now be known as CBT day.

Once a week a Health Educator will launch a CBT challenge. Members are encouraged to take on the challenge and post their results. A few days later, a Health Educator will post specific tips and strategies to aid you in the way you look/interpret yourself and the way you view the world.
This week we will be talking about stress…
Stress is an entirely unconscious reaction which serves as a basic survival mechanism to deal with the threat of a specific stimulus by engaging particular centres of the brain. This action sends out nerve impulses to glands and muscles to release epinephrine, norepinephrine and other stress hormones which in turn create changes in the body in order to get it prepared to deal with the threat. Symptoms include increased heart rate/blood pressure, dilated pupils, tense muscles and hair standing up among others. Stress and fear does have a purpose but in today’s world stress can be damaging to the body and mind if it is ongoing and does not have an outlet.
This week we challenge you to keep track of how many stressful situations you’ve had this week and post up your numbers here! Will your numbers be higher or lower than expected?
