John Jakubowski
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT, APCC
Social anxiety, in my opinion, is a completely normal reaction to a world that has become increasingly hard to navigate, interpret and understand. The last few years have been devastating for people trying to function, not alone make sense of the world around them. I work with clients to reframe their experience into an affirming, compassionate narrative that helps them see the beauty in both themselves and their environment.

How do you deal with stress?
We feel stress whenever we have the feeling of losing control. When we think we cannot cope with the amount of work, when something unforeseeable thwarts our plans or when the demands placed on us are too high etc. - then stress always arises.
Created by fear of possible catastrophes, of failure or of not being able to do something, stress drives our adrenaline levels up. This costs the body an enormous amount of energy and in the long run can even make us seriously ill.
A study by Harvard University has now found that employees with personnel responsibility are on average less stressed. The control you gain through more responsibility apparently outweighs the stress. This means that the more we relinquish control and feel out of control, the more we feel stressed.

You can reduce stress or manage it productively by using some of these strategies:
1. Express your feelings….with friends, a counselor, write in a journal, compose a letter you don’t mail, write a poem or essay. Don’t be afraid to ask for help.
2. Do just one thing at a time. Prioritize the things you need to get done.
3. Take care of yourself physically through nutrition or exercise.
4. Know your limits. Focus on what is really important and learn to say no.
5. Watch how you talk to yourself and do not judge yourself. Reverse your negative ideas and focus on positive outcomes.

Crystal Taylor - Soulful Hearts In Nature
Life Coach, RSMT
Stress is not a bad thing in and of itself...it mobilizes our body and mind for bursts of extra energy when needed. It becomes a problem however when the stress response is fairly constant and unrelenting and the body/mind don't normalize and come back to a relaxed state each time. I specialize in working with highly sensitive people to get to the roots of the frequent stressors in their lives and we work together in a supportive setting to implement new more balanced ways of responding to the stressors of life and how to quickly bring the body and mind back to a peaceful state.
