Poorly managed stress can cause serious physical and psychological problems
Our stress counseling and therapy seek to help the client understand their stress sources and formulate strategies to cope with the stress or get rid of it altogether. Prolonged and poorly managed stress can cause other emotional disturbances such as depression and other health-related problems. Stress counseling is working with a therapist or counselor to discover the sources of the stress and developing strategies to eliminating the stressors and the triggers of the stress. Stress counseling also involves learning new skills and techniques to manage stress appropriately.
Stress is the body’s response or reaction to an event that it finds difficult to bear or cope with. Stress puts your body on high alert. This happens when your body releases cortisol and adrenaline into your bloodstream. Stress elicits the “fight or flight or freezes response.” Stress can occur due to an event or thoughts that cause or makes you feel anxious, frustrated, worried, agitated, or angry. Stress can be positive or negative. Stress can be a good thing when faced with real danger, and the body reacts to run away or fight the situation and overcome the situation. Stress becomes harmful when it lasts for long periods of time or when it frequently occurs to events that are no longer considered “normal.”
