Riding the New Stress Wave
In 1936, Hans Selye did some pretty intense experiments on rats and concluded that when extreme stress was repeatedly administered, basically the equivalent of rat waterboarding, it surprisingly caused issues. By 1951, other scientists were confused and complained about Selye's definition of stress, and one physician concluded in a 1951 issue of the British Medical Journal that, "Stress in addition to being itself, was also the cause of itself, and the result of itself."
No one has agreed what stress is, or isn't for a long time. Our discussion is that most stress is caused by conflict, and is a load or energy, that can be redirected into positive outcomes. Principles of conflict or stress redirection are mostly ignored in education today, and yet is a tremendous source of untapped energy.
Understanding the principles of conflict or stress becomes increasingly important as it directly relates to domestic violence. The fact is that energy redirected by those who understand this concept may also "redirect" domestic violence, be an advocate to prevent domestic violence with their social network, and could potentially feed the world.
- Create a discussion of why safety should include an informed position of empowerment through the practice of conflict resolution principles in radical transparency.
- Create a discussion around the Van Der Kolk “body up” approach of kinesthetic learning based on self defense for empowerment redefined as “life defense.”
- Create discussion around how “life defense” is a coordinated power model that becomes more powerful for individuals and the group as a whole through safe participation, peer leadership and diversity.
