Alright. So for this one, we're going to be ordering these statements here to be consistent with general adaptation syndrome. So in general adaptation syndrome, our three phases are the alarm phase, basically, that initial reaction to the stress, the alarm that takes place. That we would usually see some kind of sympathetic activation there. And then if the stressor continues, we enter the resistance phase.
Basically, our body tries adapting to that stressor and tries living with it. And then eventually, we end up in the exhaustion phase where our physical resources are depleted, and we may see some negative health consequences. So looking through these situations here, it looks like B is describing that initial alarm phase. So this reads, Mikkel starts a new internship at a very competitive company. During his first team meeting, the manager puts him on the spot and asks questions about his qualifications.
You can imagine that kind of initial alarm, that would take place in that moment, kind of getting called out by your boss on your very, very first meeting in a very competitive situation. So it looks like B is that kind of initial sympathetic activation taking place. And then looking at A and C, it looks like C is probably describing the resistance phase. So it seems like Mikkel is putting in extra hours to meet the demands of his boss. He is less anxious in meetings, but he still feels this constant pressure to perform well.
So we're seeing kind of a decrease in the magnitude of the response, but the response is still there. He still feels anxious, and he's feeling this pressure. So he's not in fight or flight mode constantly anymore, but he is definitely aware of and feeling that anxiety and that pressure. So C is describing the resistance phase. His body is trying to adapt to living with that stressor.
And then it looks like A is describing the exhaustion phase. So here at the end of the semester, Mikkel turns his final report into his manager. So he did it, but he's feeling very rundown, and he's suffering from regular tension headaches, which is a symptom that we know is really common when experiencing chronic stress. Alright. So there you have it, and I will see you guys in the next one.
Bye bye.
