Chronic Stress and the Impact to the Body

Adaptable | Behavior Explained

Welcome to Adaptable | Behavior Explained! "The Ripple Effects of Stress on Our Health: A Comprehensive Exploration," delves into the intricate relationship between stress and overall health. It discusses how stress, when accumulated due to adverse childhood experiences or prolonged exposure, can significantly impact our body systems. The article explores the body's response to stress, including its effects on the cardiovascular, nervous, immune, digestive, and endocrine systems. It emphasizes the importance of addressing stress for holistic well-being, highlighting the interconnectedness of mental and physical health. Collaborative efforts between mental health professionals and medical providers are recommended to address unresolved stress and achieve better overall health and quality of life.

I'm Kelly O'Horo, Attachment based EMDR Therapist, EMDRIA Consultant, and Advanced Trainer. I'm a mom of 5, Nonna of 5, wife, and a healer. I have the honor of spending my workdays walking along side people while they brave their healing journeys. I try to live with the generous assumption that we're all doing the best we can with what we know. Therapists are teachers for the "life stuff" and "emotional vocabulary" that may not have been learned due to gaps in our care givers capabilities. In the last 15 years I've learned that people are freaking amazing, resilient, and inspiring. Most importantly, we are hardwired for connection and for healing!

I hope to bring an authentic, compassionate, and unpolished approach while we explore a variety of topics such as parenting, marriage, relationships, dating, trauma, attachment, adoption, depression, addiction, anxiety, and love! There's a why for all behaviors and an explanation that makes perfect sense as emotion is at the root of it all.
