ROSTA theory

ROSTA theory, developed by Russian psychologist A. Rosta, explains how the brain processes stress and emotions through a complex system of signals and responses. It emphasizes that stress isn’t just a problem but an essential part of human functioning, helping us adapt and survive. The theory suggests that balanced neural activity allows individuals to handle challenges effectively, while imbalance can lead to emotional or physical issues. ROSTA focuses on understanding these mechanisms to promote resilience, self-awareness, and mental well-being by recognizing how our brain's responses influence our overall health and behavior.
