Introductions
According to psychologists given that stress has
been linked as a co-factor in 95 of all disorder
processes, a keystone of holistic, alternative
health and healing is learning how to effectively
manage stress. This learning method or process
starts with identifying five specific and
important types of stress affecting you and how
these stressors (that is, what demands a change
from you) are showing up or manifesting as
symptoms in your life. Stress factors broadly
fall into five types or categories psycho
spiritual stress, acute stress, physical stress,
chronic stress, and psychological stress.

Psycho-spiritual stress
Psychologist says Psycho-spiritual stress is a
crisis of values, purpose, and meaning joyless
striving (instead of productive, meaningful
satisfying, and fulfilling work and a
misalignment within ones core spiritual
beliefs. Entire, improperly managed stress
usually takes a toll on the body. When
stress-related moods, feelings, and emotions are
pushed into the body, the soma, is generally
termed psychosomatic or psychological illness,
including headaches, heart palpitations,
physical/cognitive/emotional pain, suffering,
constricted throat, shallow, clammy palms,
anxiety, allergies, asthma, fatigue, nausea,
constricted breathing, autoimmune syndromes
related to ineffective functioning of the immune
system, hypertension (high blood pressure), and
gastrointestinal disturbances such as upset
stomach, diarrhea, duodenal ulcers, and
esophageal reflux syndrome.

Acute stress

• Acute stress results from your bodys reaction to
  a challenging or new situation. It is that
  feeling people get from an approaching deadline
  or when you narrowly avoid being hit by a car.
• We can even experience it as a result of
  something we enjoy or like. Such as exhilarating
  ride on a roller coaster or an outstanding
  personal achievement.
• As per the psychologist's report, acute stress is
  classified as short-term. Usually, emotions and
  the body return to their normal state relatively
  early.

5
Physical stress

• In physical stress, the person suffers various
  psychical problems due to trauma (injury,
  infection, surgery), intense physical
  labor/over-exertion, illness (viral, bacterial,
  or fungal agents), fatigue, inadequate oxygen
  supply, hypoglycemia I(low blood sugar), hormonal
  and/or biochemical imbalances, environmental
  pollution (pesticides, herbicides, toxins, heavy
  metals, inadequate light, radiation, noise,
  electromagnetic fields), dietary stress
  (nutritional deficiencies, food allergies, and
  sensitivities, unhealthy eating habits),
  dehydration, substance abuse, dental challenges,
  and musculoskeletal misalignments/imbalances.

6
Chronic stress

• Chronic stress is stress that seems endless or
  never-ending and inescapable, like the stress of
  a bad marriage and relationship or an extremely
  taxing job chronic stress can also stem from
  traumatic experiences and childhood or adult
  trauma.

Psychological stress

• According psychologist professionals
  psychological stress is related to emotional
  (resentments, fears, frustration, sadness, anger,
  grief/bereavement), cognitive stress (information
  overload, accelerated sense of time, worry,
  guilt, shame, jealousy, resistance, attachments,
  self-loathing, unworkable, self-criticism,
  perfectionism, panic attacks, anxiety, not
  feeling like yourself, not feeling like things
  are real, and a sense of being out of control/not
  being in control), and perceptual stress
  (beliefs, stories, roles, attitudes, world view).

Signs and symptoms of stress

• The most dangerous thing about stress is how
  easily it can creep up on you. You get used to
  it. It starts to feel familiar, even normal. You
  do not notice how much it is affecting you, even
  as it takes a heavy toll. That is why it's
  crucial to be aware of the common warning signs
  and symptoms of stress overload.

Treatment

• If strategies such as those listed above are not
  helping, it is essential to see a healthcare
  professional psychologist for advice and support.
  A psychologist or doctor might recommend or
  suggest psychological therapy, such as cognitive
  behavioral therapy (CBT).
• One established objective of CBT is to help
  people deal with chronic stress. In structured
  sessions, a hypnotherapist works to enable a
  person to modify their thoughts, behaviors, and
  feelings concerning stressors.
• CBT can also help people develop tools and coping
  mechanisms to manage stress responses.
• Sometimes, a psychologist recommends medications
  to help treat some symptoms of chronic stress.
  For example, they might prescribe antidepressants
  to treat depression or anxiety. For people with
  trouble sleeping, doctors might prescribe
  sedatives.
