What Is Stress?
Data from 10,000 Virtual EMDR Sessions
Stress is your mind and body’s response to pressure, demands, or challenging situations. In short bursts, it can help you stay focused, react quickly, or get things done.
But when stress feels constant or overwhelming, it can start to affect your mood, sleep, concentration, and physical wellbeing. How stress shows up can vary from person to person.
