STRESS REACTION
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Historical Perspective
Stress reaction refers to the emotional aftershocks that occur
after the experience of a traumatic event.
Historically, the society largely ignored the import of stress
reactions on the physiological and mental health of patients.
For instance, there were limited programs to help returning
veterans, new mothers, and accident survivors.

2. The
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Modern Perspective
Extensive and elaborate research on stress reactions has
revolutinalised perspectives on stress reactions.
Health experts argue that traumatic experiences have a long
standing impact on the emotional and psychological welfare of
people (Pakos‐ Zebrucka, 2016).
Consequently, society has taken drastic efforts to help
individuals who have experienced traumatic events and other
stressful events
The
INSPIRATION OF THE RESEARCH
Rationale for the Study

3. The reason I purposed to focus on stress reaction is because of
personal curiosity and experience.
As a student and young adult, I am intrigued by the relationship
between emotional and physical health.
Research indicates that quality emotional health contributes to
quality physical health and vice versa.
Moreover, I am interested in the topic due to personal reasons
since become extremely stressed when preparing for an
important class presentation.
The
MIND-BODY CONNECTION
Stress connection occurs when a physical event triggers a
subconscious psychological response.
The topic illustrates a strong mind-body connection by outlining
how the body reacts to stress.
Stress reaction is more focused on the mind than the mind
(Stapleton, 2019).
Scientifically, the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis regulates
the production and circulation of hormones under stressful
conditions.

4. MIND-BODY CONNECTION
Stress connection occurs when a physical event triggers a
subconscious psychological response.
The topic illustrates a strong mind-body connection by outlining
how the body reacts to stress.
Stress reaction is more focused on the mind than the mind
(Seaward, 2017).
Scientifically, the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis regulates
the production and circulation of hormones under stressful
conditions.
MIND-BODY CONNECTION

5. Cases of excessive or prolonged stress, or perturbations in the
function or regulation of the HPA axis may result in abnormal
changes in hormones circulating through both the periphery and
the central nervous system.
The HPA axis is the primary circuit that mediates the
physiological response to stress (Stapleton, 2019).
The HPA axis also regulates the level of circulating
glucocorticoid hormones in the central nervous system.
LESSONS AND APPLICATION
During the research, I was surprised to find that feeling anxious
before a big appointment has nothing to do with fear.
Apparently, this is part of the mind-body connection, which is
the result of an elaborate scientific and biological process.
Therefore, individuals can use this information to overcome and
defeat stressful situations.
The understanding can also help individuals to recovery from
traumatic experiences.

Sleep Paralysis
( Sleep Atonia)
Bianca Diopa
Mind and Body 1201
Professor Hearn

What is Sleep Paralysis/Sleep Atonia ?
Sleep Atonia (sleep paralysis) is the feeling being conscious but
not able to move. During sleep paralysis your body is asleep,
but your mind is still active.

11. For years doctors have wondered, what exactly causes sleep
paralysis and why do so many experience this? and till this day
it is still unclear. During the state of sleep paralysis many
report similar experiences such as being able to see yourself
asleep and the room around you but not being able to move their
body. Some even report seeing figures around their body and
struggling to breathe.
History
Starting from 2000 BC ancient Mesopotamia all the way up to
the Roman empire many believed that a demon was causing
sleep paralysis. A demon known as the incubus was believed to
sit on your chest as slept preventing you from moving away. He
would taunt people with terrible nightmares.
Though science may not have any clear answers the medical
community now believes that sleep paralysis is caused by some
physical condition for example extreme stress, sleeping
positions, lack of sleep, or sleeping disorders. However, some
still believe that a demon or some force beyond our
comprehension haunts at night.
Those who believe in the spiritual believe that older souls or
those who have more control of their third eye or crown charka
can see high dimensional begins in this state. It’s believed that
when experiencing this your soul leaving your body and
entering new dimensions. However, neither of these can be
confirmed and no one’s still knows why exactly we experience
sleep paralysis

12. Inspiration
What inspired me to choose this topic was a mix of curiosity
and personal experience. Though its been a while, I used
experience sleep paralysis. I have only experienced i t at least
four times but I can say that it is a scary experience. I remember
seeing myself lying in bed and feeling like someone was
choking me. When I woke, I just sat there wondering, what just
happened. Ever since then I’ve been curious on topic and
believe that the research Ill be doing for this project can help
answer my questions.
Mind and Body Connection
During sleep paralysis your mind is conscious, but your body is
unable to move. Many experience hallucinations and some may
start hearing things that aren’t really there. I believe that sleep
paralysis has a strong connection with the mind. During sleep
paralysis something called rapid eye movement (REM) occurs.
While REM is active a part of our brain called the dorsolateral
prefrontal cortex, which controls our ability to plan and think
logically, turns off. Therefore, it is common for people to start
hallucinating.
What I learned
From completing this project I’ve learned a few new things
about sleep paralysis. I’ve learned more about how sleep
paralysis affects the brain and how common it actually is. Four
out of every ten people have experienced sleep paralysis.
However, if experiencing it too often this can be signs of
serious issue one should see their doctor for. I also didn’t know

13. that those who experience sleep paralysis can be experiencing
thigs like lack of sleep or extreme stress.

My relationship with depression
My story
I went through depression at a very young I think 16-year-old
and I'm 26 now so its 10 years since I had depression. It was
very hard I was sad I also use to drink four lokos back then
when it had all this bad ingredients that weren’t good for you.
Because of it I end in the hospital couple of times because I was
having hard time breathing which I didn’t know till later own
that I was have anxiety and panic attacks and on top of that I

15. was depressed. I had these symptoms
Sadness
Anger
Loss of appetite
Slept all the time
Didn’t talk to anyone
And had suicidal though
The reason I felt this was because I wasn’t doing the best in
high school, I felt like I couldn’t amount to anything as much as
I tried. The way I came out of it was when I men up and told the
doctor to refer me to get help and I did it without any
medication just will power and the support of my family. From
this experience I learn everyday to be better and I'm always
willing to help anyone going through something like that
because not only have I gone through it but I see things in a
very different way then most people probably do

Globally about 264 million had gone through some from of
depression
How to deal with depression
How I got over depression was going to counseling and having
moral support and the will to want to be better
Antidepressants which are good and bad cause of the side
affects side affects are dizziness, fatigue, vison problems, dry
mouth and constipation.
You can become addicted to it and maybe overdose

16. Talk to someone your comfortable with
Ask them to check with you to see how your doing
Join something like a sport
Try sleeping regular like 8 hours
Practice relaxations techniques like I did when my counselor
show them to me
Go for walks and enjoy nature
List things about yourself that you like
Watch something funny tv show or movie
Take good baths
Listen to your favorite music
etc.
