“Like autoimmune disorders that hijack the immune system, attacking the body instead of protecting it, autostress [transforms] the stress response system into something that attacks the self rather than protecting it.” – Dr. John Arden
Autostress is a new term for me. It was coined by Dr. John Arden and he uses it to describe what happens when our body’s stress response goes on for a long time. We are in the midst of the COVID19 pandemic and the stress is mounting as the weeks pile on top of each other. The Wellness Society has released this workbook to help address the anxiety associated with COVID19. It is open access and free to share, the only thing they ask is to honor their copyright and give them attribution if you post it on a website or through a newsletter.
