The Dangers of Chronic Stress and What to Do about it

How Your Body Reacts to Stress

The human body responds to stressors by releasing hormones that affect us in a variety of ways. For example, you may experience increased heart rate, rapid and/or shallow breathing, perspiration, physical tensing in various parts of the body, or a combination of these. The responses may differ widely from person to person. Biofeedback gives you the opportunity to observe the effects of stress on your own body firsthand.

During biofeedback sessions, your provider will connect you to a computer using sensors that measure various responses such as body temperature, respiration, heart rate, perspiration and muscle tension. As you observe these responses graphically on the screen in real time, your therapist will help you experiment with various techniques to change those stress responses—for example, diaphragmatic breathing techniques, progressive muscle relaxation, mindfulness exercises, and even visual games like racing a car using breathing skills. As you watch how your stress responses change while using these techniques, you’ll develop a strong mind-body connection that can help you reduce your heart rate at will. Your provider will also use these responses to help create a long-term treatment plan to reduce the effects of stress.

By training your body and mind how to respond to stress differently you’ll enjoy better mental and physical health, experience a greater sense of calm and improve your overall quality of life. Biofeedback can be utilized as a stand-alone treatment or as a beneficial enhancement to an existing psychotherapy treatment plan.
