Analysis of the individual stress pattern of a person or organisation
The stress pattern is the 'fully automated' cascade of physical, emotional and action-controlling schemes triggered by severe stress. The stress pattern is different in every human; it comprises biological processes (activation of the so-called 'stress axis' in the organism) and the personal psychological situation. It is very helpful to know one’s own stress pattern – because we can only control conscious acts.
Organisations experience stress patterns too – they react according to defined schemes when under stress, e.g. the only thought is about reducing costs in connection with financial problems without reflecting on the detailed effects certain cost saving measures will have on the unique selling position of the company.
I help you identify your personal stress pattern or the one of your organisation and to change dysfunctional responses to stress, if necessary.
