Phase I: Triggering event - a perceived threat (others may agree or disagree that a real threat
existed.)Triggering events fall into two general categories:
a) Fear.
b) Frustration
Phase 2: Escalation - The person’s mind and body prepare to do battle with the cause of the
triggering event, muscles become increasingly tense and active.
Phase 3: Crisis
Phase 4: Recovery - The muscles become progressively more relaxed as the mind and body
return to normal.
Phase 5: Post-crisis depression - The physical and emotional symptoms of fatigue and
depression dominate the behavioural pattern until normal responses can be restored.
