Chapter 14 discussion

(I mostly feel stressed over school or assignment piling up)
Create your own post in which you describe the primary and secondary appraisal, and then new ways of thinking about your stress. The goal is to explore and uncover what has always been there (appraisals) even though you may not have been aware of them.

Instructions: Pick anything that is causing you stress, and then (1) uncover the underlying reason you feel it’s a threat (primary appraisal) and why you feel you lack coping ability (secondary appraisal). Explain in a concise short-to-medium size paragraph your Primary Appraisal, and your Secondary Appraisal. You must articulate the underlying reason why you feel its a “threat” and why you feel you “lack coping ability”. Then, (2) try creating new appraisals to resolve the stress. Perhaps uncovering the heart of why you feel stress can lead you to new ways of dealing with the stress in your life.
