A
When a person encounters an event, there is an immediate process of primary appraisal or rating of the event. If this appraisal results in the event being identified as a potential harm, loss, threat, or challenge, the person has stress. Coping refers to strategies or practices that help people deal with stress. Following the recognition of stress, secondary appraisal focuses on the resources or coping strategies that can meet the stress. Dissociation is experiencing a subjective sense of numbing and a reduced awareness of one's surroundings.
