stress in families
Every single family goes through difficult times at some point. It is inevitable. There are so many things that can happen within a family and since there are so many moving parts there is not a way to avoid it. However, we should not be avoiding these crises or stressors anyways. They can bind and bring a family together more than most anything else. There is also an opposite to this. Families can be at risk of breaking apart depending on the way we deal with and cope with the issue at hand. Basically the way we react to and deal with a situation within our family will also likely determine the strength of the family once things are resolved. A quick example of this would be a death in the family. I have personally seen many families who fall apart after this. Everyone is sad, mad, and even could blame others for their death. This will quickly tear a family apart and mending these broken ties will take a long time and a lot of work to mend back together and restore them. Sometimes they become so frayed and broken that there may be no way to reverse the actions we took in the face of a crisis/stressor. On the other hand, a death in the family can bring us closer to each other and create a bond that would be hard to break. If we choose to turn toward one another in this difficult time, we are much more likely to create stronger closer bonds with each other. A crisis within a family is a call to create a necessary change within the family. If there is a family crisis, do not treat it the way you would treat an individual crisis. Turn to your family and work to create that necessary change in order to restore what you had and even make it better.
Stress: feeling of emotional or physical tension -- can be good or bad
Stress can be good for our bodies. When we go to the gym to get stronger or lose weight, guess what we are doing... Putting stress on our bodies! That is good! Creating stress on our bodies makes us stronger and makes our bodies be able to function better. Stress can be bad for our bodies as well, depending on the way we cope. If we are having a stressor response anxiety and we make this a problem by coping with alcohol, drugs, sleep, eating, the list could continue. The way we cope with problems is the best indicator of how the outcome will be. If you choose to cope with alcohol it is likely you will never be able to completely cope with and learn to deal with new changes. You also are damaging your body to try and cope with something. This may be an easy quick fix but it is wrong. Same with drugs, excessive sleep, and overeating.
Our brains do not know the difference between a thought and truth if we do not train it to discern between the two. This can be an explanation as to why people struggle with anxiety and depression so commonly now. Their "perceived" danger becomes their reality and then causes them to have a constant stressor response anxiety. This is the response within the body that causes the heart rate to increase, breathing to speed up, digestion to stop, their mind to be able to focus, and many other things. This is also where our response of fight or flight comes as a result of. If you perceive danger you will likely have a combination of these things and then react to them. If you are constantly feeling this response anxiety then you will always thing you are in danger.
Families go through several different crises within the life of a family. By understanding these different stresses, coping, and response cycles out bodies go through we may be able to face these crises and come out stronger than ever. In a family it is detrimental to use these stressors and crises to grow together and create bonds that can be unbreakable.
