We all know the costs of stress: the frustration, exhaustion and general sense of being ground down or amped up beyond what is useful. But what changes when we ask ourselves what our stress responses are trying to do for us?  In this 4 session workshop series, we'll explore the benefits of the 4 basic stress responses: fight, flight, freeze and tend and befriend.

We'll start with the fight response. What good can come from being ready to fight? What if your body's stress response is preparing you to stand up for yourself? You probably don't need to physically fight, but you do need to be ready to take some risks to ensure that you have the respect and resources you need from those around you.
