Everyone has stress sometimes; we even need it! For example, you recognize stress by the pressure you feel just before a deadline. At that moment, all kinds of mechanisms work in our body: our stress response. Or what psychiatrist and stress researcher Christiaan Vinkers calls it: our stress orchestra. Our stress orchestra helps us deal with stress and warns us when 'a little' stress becomes too much. You are then sick from the stress, which causes the stress orchestra to fall apart. You become overstressed and may even end up in burnout. You will learn how to do this and recognize the signals from your stress orchestra in this video.

Thanks to our lifelike stress orchestra: the Tavola Quartet!
