CONTROL STRESS TECHNIQUES (CST)
WHY CST AND WHY FOR ORGANIZATIONS
Over 15 years CST have been shown to improve health, wellbeing and performance.
For organizations they may offer the first realistic approach to reduce health care costs, related absences and improve performance. Our work has identified 7 unique organizational characteristics which promise to increase CST effectiveness and results above individual achievements.
HOW CST WORKS
Stress is initiated by the survival response in the more archaic parts of the brain. This stress causes problems for both health and performance in modern life where the stress response is not desirable or useful. CST creates signals that travel directly to the parts of the older brain where stress is initiated. There the signals reduce or even stop the stress response. See the list of the major stress dangers CST help control. (create a page with the back of the book cover.)
WHAT IS CST
CST are a set of effective, fast working manual stimulation protocols which are targeted at the perceived source of stress. This type of rhythmic stimulation is genetically imprinted in our nervous system to relate to a safe environment which engenders the relaxation response. The basic techniques were discovered in the 1980’s, have since become more simplified and standardized. Our own research and experience have led to further improvements and use.
