Stress is a common issue many individuals face. It can become an overwhelming experience in this fast-paced world where self-care practices can often be neglected. Coming to therapy for stress management can be a life changing decision. It can help guide you through many of life’s challenges and difficult situations. It can provide you with the tools needed to prevent burnout, somatic symptoms of stress, and other issues that arise with high stress levels while still keeping up with this fast-paced world.
What is Stress? Stress is a natural response that helps keep us motivated and driven; it can help us get things done. However, when stress becomes prolonged and is not balanced with mental and emotional health practices, it can lead to anxiety, depressive symptoms, headaches, muscle tension, sleep disturbances, and other mental, emotional, and physical issues. Left untreated, it can begin to impact your quality of life.
