Stress Management Therapy
In healthy doses, stress can be beneficial. In moderate doses, stress can help us work harder to set and achieve goals. However, when stress is in control, it can rob us of happiness and health. Although we can’t eliminate stress from our lives entirely, we can learn to react to stress in a positive manner and take control of the stressful situation rather than allowing the stress to remain in control. It may seem like there’s nothing you can do about stress, but you have a lot more control than you might think. Stress management is about taking charge of your lifestyle, emotions, thoughts, and the way you deal with problems.
Physical signs of stress include:
• Sleeping too much or too little
• Change in eating habits
• Fatigue
• Shortness of breath
• Heart Palpitations
Emotional signs of stress include:
• Feeling burned out
• Depression
• Losing interest in normally pleasurable activities
• Abnormal irritability
