Stress

This playlist by Ryan Patton treats stress as a natural process: the way we assess the demands and threats around us and then respond to them. Rather than framing stress only as a problem to eliminate, it sets out to map how the process works.

What the playlist covers

• The stressors that set the process off
• The reactions stress provokes in the body and mind
• The wider effects stress can have over time
• Strategies for managing the process

Who should watch

Anyone who wants a structured introduction to how stress works before trying specific techniques. Because it is a playlist rather than a formal course with one syllabus, it suits viewers who prefer to pick individual videos and return to them as needed.
