Stress Management

Stress Management Counseling

An expert on the subject, Hans Selye defined a state of “stress” as the response of an organism to any demand placed on it. In our stressed culture, there are increasing demands placed on us, usually coupled with the perceived need to respond quickly…or else. It’s no wonder that many feel rushed, under pressure and even stretched beyond their means. Stress Management is a means to renew our serenity and sanity.

Stress Management Strategies

It is helpful to distinguish between what we can change and what we can’t, as is illustrated in the Serenity Prayer. At Transformational Counseling, you’ll learn these differences, through stress management counseling, and also be empowered with techniques for settling your mind and dealing with difficult emotions. You may not have control over the events in your life that cause stress, but you will learn how to manage it.

If your stress is overwhelming and you are not able to manage it on your own, then you may want to consider a psychotherapy session. The opportunity to talk with a professional about what is on your mind and heart can help you cope and identify personally effective stress management techniques. You might be surprised to see that your stress can be minimized or released in a very systematic way.
