clinical importance because it will help determine which dierent aspects of stress resilience should be
targeted by therapeutic interventions and how such interventions can be better tailored.
In this sense, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) has been shown to be eective in treating
stress and emotional disorders. However, pooled meta-analytic response rates for CBT vary between
38% and 82%, depending on the specic disorder [Homann et.al, 2012]. Thus, there is still great room
for improvement. Even if a treatment is found to be eective, it is unlikely to be eective for everyone.
Adapting treatments to individual characteristics is one of the goals of personalized medicine, which
has attracted increasing attention in the eld of mental health in recent years [Simon and Perlis, 2010].
In this sense, the current review is a step forward, as it will allow for a clearer strategy and
precision when making interventions for patients with stress regulation diculties. In fact, the two
patients may have trouble regulating their stress response for dierent reasons. In one case, diculties
could be observed during the stress phase, and in the other case, during the recovery phase. Therefore,
both patients will present with similar symptoms, but treatment will require dierent interventions.
For example, training in distraction techniques may be benecial during the recovery phase of stress,
but may be counterproductive during coping with the stressful situation [Nasso et al., 2019]. Similarly,
interventions focused on reinterpretation during the stress phase have been observed to reduce
responding and inhibit amygdala activation [186], but the use of interventions focused on gratitude
and compassion is not as eective during this period. Although they would work better for a recovery
strategy [Salzmann et al,2018]. It will also create a foundation for the self-realization of educational
subjects in the learning process [Jabbarov, 2012].
It is unreasonable to assume that the same strategy will be equally eective at dierent stages
of the stress process. Thus, when coping with anticipation or a stressful situation, focusing on plans will
be a more functional strategy than positive focus, while the opposite process will be observed in the
recovery phase [Medrano et al., 2013].
Adequate training in the use of emotion regulation strategies involves analyzing the stages
of the stress process where the most diculties are observed. We believe that in the present analysis
