Stress assessment

Stress is not a "mood" but a measurable physiological process. The assessment includes hormonal markers (morning cortisol, DHEA-sulfate), 24-hour HRV, the Holmes-Rahe scale (stressful events over the past year) and the PSS-10 (perceived stress scale).

In addition, a "trigger map" is collected: occupational loads, interpersonal conflicts, financial pressure, losses, migration. This is not psychotherapy — this is context for building the recovery programme.

High chronic stress is grounds for reinforcing the spiritual Villa 07 (silence, deprivation, meditation) and a softer detox start. Hypocortisolism (burnout) requires a special restorative medicine protocol at Villa 04.

The output is a numerical allostatic load scale plus a personal trigger map, handed off to the health coach for biohacking and to the psychologist for integration work.
