Different hearts and
brains respond to events differently. Something that wouldn’t be pleasant but
not the end of the world, either, for one person, may be perceived as totally
catastrophic for another. An unexpected and terrifying medical diagnosis, or being fired,
or losing a great deal or money, or going bankrupt, or domestic abuse may
trigger the syndrome for some. For others it might be a surprise birthday party
or being expected or forced to perform in public. It’s different strokes for
different folks. That’s one reason to know your friends and loved ones very
well because what you think would be a hoot might be more than they could cope
with. No brain and heart can be completely ready for every catastrophe.
Understanding and living the 20:80 Rule and having good stress management
strategies and a strong social network in place can be immensely helpful,
however. More tomorrow
