Allostasis is defined as “stability through change,” elegantly capturing the concept’s double meaning: The way to stay stable through the process of change is by changing, at least to some extent.
From neuroscience to pain science to psychology, allostasis has become the predominant model for understanding change in the scientific community.
A healthy response to change and disorder, whether it’s within ourselves or our environments, is one based on the allostatis process.
You stop fearing change, which is to say you stop fearing life.
Fortunately, the same science agrees that we can also become stronger and grow from change and that much about how we navigate change is behavioral; that is, it can be developed and practiced.
