Connect My Brain

54. What a stress response test can tell us and how chronic stress changes the brain [Case Study]


Listen Later

Today's episode is the last one in our case study series. My hope is that this series has helped you see places in your own child's life where a behaviour might actually be caused by a brain that didn't get wired up correctly because the good news is that you can retrain a brain! I want parents to know that there are people like me who really focus on development and help children (and adults!) navigate the path to get things back on track!

Today I will be focusing specifically on chronic stress and the stress-response evaluation. I started using this evaluation in 2008 as a way to quantify stress in an individual and see how the system is actually working. In this episode I go through the stress-response evaluation in detail, explaining how it works and what it can tell me and I talk about how chronic stress literally changes the brain.
