Description of a stressful event
Provide a 1-page description of a stressful event currently
occurring in your life. Then, referring to information you learned throughout
this course, address the following:
What physiological changes occur in the brain due to the
stress response?
What emotional and cognitive effects might occur due to this
stressful situation?
Would the above changes (physiological, cognitive, or
emotional) be any different if the same stress were being experienced by a
person of the opposite sex or someone much older or younger than you?
If the situation continues, how might your physical health
be affected?
What three behavioral strategies would you implement to
reduce the effects of this stressor? Describe each strategy. Explain how each
behavior could cause changes in brain physiology (e.g., exercise can raise
serotonin levels).
In addition to citing the online course and the text, you
are also required to cite a minimum of two scholarly sources and the body of
the paper should be 6 pages.
If you were encouraging an adult client to make the above
changes, what ethical considerations would you have to keep in mind? How would
you address those ethical considerations?
