Kelly McGonigal on what school-related stress really tells us
Students who try to avoid stress are missing out on important information, says Kelly McGonigal, health psychologist and science lecturer at the 海角乱伦社区 Graduate School of Business.
In this episode of School鈥檚 In, McGonigal joined GSE Dean Dan Schwartz and Senior Lecturer Denise Pope to talk about what stress actually signifies, the particular challenges of school-related stress and what a healthier stress response might look like.
鈥淪tress is what arises in your brain and body when something you care about is at stake,鈥 she said. 鈥淲hen people start to feel overwhelmed or stressed, it鈥檚 a reminder to re-engage with what matters most rather than become distracted or paralyzed.鈥
