Zlata Kovaltchouk
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RPC, RP
Explore the biggest culprits of ongoing and chronic stress, and begin to build the skills that are necessary to effectively manage stress. Stress is a part of life and cannot be erased, and our bodies are designed to withstand acute stress. However, chronic and ongoing stress (the kind that is harmful to our well-being) is often caused by lifestyle, certain long-standing behavioural patterns, and a lack of effective skills in communication, coping, and emotional regulation. We will look at all of these areas to explore where change might be helpful, and to begin to learn the necessary skills and tools to manage difficult thoughts and feelings effectively, respond to the challenges of life while taking care of your own needs, and increase emotional resiliency as well as behaviours that will promote vitality.

The surprising thing about stress is that it doesn't have to come from a difficult experience - sometimes pleasant events like starting a new job, getting married, or moving can result in the stress response.

Irritability
Sadness
Anger
Apathy (feeling numb)
Burnout
Fear, worry
Shame and guilt
Common physical symptoms are:
Headaches
Insomnia
Fatigue

If left untreated, stress can lead to various physical and mental health conditions including:
Mood and Anxiety disorders such as depression, obsessive compulsive disorder, social anxiety disorder, etc.
Addiction and substance abuse

Magdalena Karakehayova
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Anxiety can be a productive and useful tool in helping us understand and interpret our environment. However, when anxiety is chronic, it can take a significant toll on both physical and mental health, ultimately effecting all facets of our lives. I like to examine the causes of anxiety and understand what anxiety is attempting to communicate and protect one from. In doing so, I hope to reframe anxiety, foster acceptance and welcome healing and change. I am also a strong believer in self-care and giving oneself permission to rest, which is imperative in stress and anxiety management.
