Course Description:

In this course, students will look at stress and what happens in the body when we experience it. Starting with the stress hormones, we will look at how the nerves, nervous system, and brain process stress. We will also see how stress influences us psychologically, and examine the way the same stressor can have very different effects on different people. Finally, we will look at the methods and exercises that can help us preempt stress responses in order to prepare for stressful situations.
