ALARM STAGE
As you begin to experience a
stressful event or perceive
something to be stressful
psychological changes occur in
your body. This experience or
perception disrupts your body’s
normal balance and
immediately your body begins
to respond to the stressor(s) as
effectively as possible.

respiration
 Skin - decreased temperature
 Hormonal - increased
stimulation of adrenal genes
which produce an adrenal rush.
