The stress response is based on the trigger which occurs in
the form of fear, doubt or worry. Hence, the stress response is
emotion-centric. The problem of the emotion-centric response is that it is so
well automated that it hijacks the thinking brain. That is the reason one can’t
think straight while he is in stress. The clarity of the situation and taking
appropriate action is not possible in the automated centric process. Thinking
brain intervention is a must in the stressed out situation. But, in reality, in
most of the cases, this is not happening.
But, it is possible to bring the thinking brain into the
picture while in stress. Stress response can be altered with the thinking
brain. This requires brain training and it is a learnable skill. Obviously,
this cannot be practiced in the peak of the stressed out situation. This should
be practiced when one is a normal state.
