Stress Intolerance

What is Stress Intolerance?

Stress intolerance means that even small amounts of physical, mental, or emotional stress produce disproportionately large and prolonged symptom responses. What others handle with minor discomfort — a busy day, a difficult conversation, a physical challenge — can send your body into a significant crash or worsening of symptoms. It signals that the nervous system’s stress-buffering capacity has been severely depleted.

How to know if Stress Intolerance is chronic

• Any significant stress consistently triggering symptom worsening or crashes
• Requiring extended recovery after stressful events
• Progressively limiting your ability to engage with life’s normal demands
• Persisting for months to years

Stress Intolerance can be associated with the following conditions:

• • Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
  • Dysautonomia
  • Trauma Loops
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Long-COVID

How brain training & re-origin can help

Rebuilding stress tolerance is at the heart of what re-origin’s program does. Through consistent nervous system regulation practices and brain retraining, the nervous system’s buffering capacity gradually increases — allowing members to handle more of life’s normal demands without triggering a crash. This is often one of the most profound changes members experience over the course of the program.
