What actually happens inside our bodies when stress becomes overwhelming?
In the series Yes, Stress Can Kill Us, Dr. Broyles introduces ideas from Dr. Aimie Apigian’s book The Biology of Trauma, exploring the stages our bodies move through in response to stress—from the initial startle and fight-or-flight response to freeze and shutdown. Over this new series, she’ll ook at what prolonged stress can do to our health, how to recognize when our bodies are getting stuck in a stress response, and importantly, and how we can begin moving toward recovery.
