The brain can temporarily quiet trauma-linked networks when facing mild stress, a response linked to better emotional health. This adaptive mechanism may help individuals cope and maintain resilience during new challenges.

Learning Outcomes
• Recognise how past trauma can shape current stress responses and coping strategies.
• Understand the role of adaptive neural mechanisms in maintaining mental health under pressure.
• Apply knowledge of stress regulation to support resilience and operational effectiveness in high-stress environments as appropriate.
