A Guide to Communication and Stress

When we are experiencing extreme stress, our ability to communicate diminishes massively. We experience lack of clarity, confusion, brain fog, and 'rabbit in the headlight' syndrome. All of which make it very difficult to communicate effectively during times of stress. Whether we need to express our emotional state or have difficult conversations, when we experience stress, we find it difficult to articulate ourselves. Also, many people are concerned about appearing weak or unable to cope, which becomes another barrier to asking for help when their mental/emotional state is compromised.
