Stress is a normal part of life. Every day, we're faced with stimuli, called stressors, which can elicit the body's "fight or flight" response, setting off a cascade of physiological reactions and resulting in emotions ranging from mild to intense. While occasional stress is natural and even healthy, chronic or acute stress can be harmful.

Please take a few moments to discover your body's response to situations you perceive as stressful. By honestly assessing how you feel, your healthcare provider can create a natural stress relief program for your individual needs.

Please read each statement and choose the number in the drop-down 0, 1, 2, or 3 that best describes your feelings or reactions throughout the course of the day. Some questions may appear redundant between sections. There's a reason for each question. Don't spend much time on any one question.

Once you complete the assessment, please save the file and email it back to your healthcare practitioner.
