😵‍💫📊 Your Stress Has a Language… Here Are the 5 Types and What Yours Says About You 😬

The Imploder: This is a “freeze” response to a stressful situation. The imploder may feel hopeless, helpless and paralyzed, Donnelly explained.  I have a buddy that does just that.  He freezes in the moment.  So odd to me, but I get him.  

The Exploder: This is a “fight or flight” response to a stressful situation. This person may have an inflated reaction to a stressful situation; they might get irritable, frustrated or angry, or even leave a situation that they can’t handle, Donnelly said.<...
