Stress Mastery

Meaning

Stress Mastery is a comprehensive, clinically supported ability to effectively regulate the physiological and psychological response to chronic and acute stressors, maintaining systemic homeostasis without detrimental long-term hormonal disruption. This involves proactive strategies to modulate the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, ensuring a rapid, appropriate release of cortisol and catecholamines during a challenge, followed by an equally rapid return to baseline. The objective is to leverage the adaptive benefits of stress while avoiding its catabolic and immune-suppressing effects.
