Stress Transfer: Coping with Secondhand Stress

Last Updated on 03 October, 2023

Secondhand stress is the sense of tension or overwhelm brought on by being around or watching someone else's stress. Even if individuals are not directly involved in the source of stress, it happens when they are negatively impacted by the stress of those around them.

In this podcast, Eliz Greene talks about an interesting topic- Secondhand stress. She discusses in detail the causes and consequences of the same and how they can put negative impact on employees.

About the Speaker

Stress is not good or bad. It is a natural reaction we have towards the environment. - Eliz Greene

Eliz Greene is an author, blogger, and professional speaker who gets ridiculously excited about stress. She not only finds the chemical reaction in the body caused by stress fascinating, but stress is also her favorite topic to speak about, write about, or discuss in line at the grocery store.

With a surgically repaired heart, Eliz also knows stress management isn’t a ‘nice-to-have,' but rather an essential survival skill.

She is the author of five books, including Stress-Proof Your Life and a Top 50 Health and Wellness Blog. She was named a Top Online Influencer on Stress and Heart Health. She’s been seen on CNN, PBS, Lifetime, TNT, and many national and local news programs.

A national spokesperson and advocate for the American Heart Association, Eliz received the Heart Hero Award in 2010. Today, Eliz is happy and healthy living in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, with her wonderful husband, Clay, and their amazing (now adult) daughters.
