Learn how to manage your Stress
Stress in small doses can help us rise to a challenge and perform at our best. However, becoming over stressed or chronically stressed will actually decrease our productivity and performance.
Long term stress and the stress hormones cortisol and adrenalin have been scientifically linked to poor physical health including: cardio-vascular disease; high blood pressure; muscular pain; suppressed immune functioning; skin problems; migraine; diabetes and infertility.
Psychological therapy is not only aimed at helping you minimise the things in your life causing us stress (if possible), but will teach you techniques to manage the unhelpful thinking that contributes to stress; manage the symptoms of stress itself; teach relaxation skills; as well as reversing any unhelpful behaviours that may be keeping you in a stress cycle.
Symptoms of Stress
Those of us who are under high levels of stress will often experience:
Having a 'short fuse'
Blowing things out of proportion
Frustration and impatience
Relationship difficulties
Loss of pleasure and meaning in life
Increased worry and poor concentration
Difficulty with decision making
Sleeping difficulty
Common causes of stress include problems at work or in relationships; renovation or relocation; retrenchment or unemployment; a traumatic event; illness or disability; workplace bullying; change; high work load and unrealistic expectations.
