HLSC Discussion Week 3

Greenberg Chapter 2 describes the body’s physiological responses to stress. As we’ve discussed, stress is an ever-present feature in our lives that impacts us across our lifespan. Therefore, it’s not surprising that we have developed many sayings that describe our physiological responses to stress (e.g., “I was so nervous that I had butterflies in my stomach!”).

For this discussion, find a saying related to stress that has physiological origins.

In your discussion group:

• Share the saying you found.
• Explain how the saying relates to our physiological responses to stress utilizing content from Greenberg Chapter 2.
• In order to receive full credit, please provide a detailed description of the physiological response that is related to the saying. Again, use Chapter 2 content to describe the physiological response.
