Stress
Zena Caputo
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Although stress in life seems like a given, we're not often taught how to reduce or effectively manage it's (very real) impact--or sometimes we're faced with a new set of challenges that exceed our usual attempts to cope. Learning more about how your unique nervous system works can help you evaluate, navigate, and cope more effectively so that you can find more ease and joy in life.

Alejandra Kenia Ipina
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
I often work with women who are exhausted from years of stress. It may show up in your life as sleep disturbances, inability to make decisions, brain fog, anxiety or depression. Using somatic therapy and a holistic approach, we can help reduce the impact of stress. Sound healing promotes reduction of cortisol and improves your mood.

Please see any of the other entries. Stress is such a word that sometimes does a lot of heavy lifting in our world. Stress can mean brief experiences of sensory or cognitive overload, or could be an expression of anxiety, other health challenge impacting mental health. It could result from just not having language or a sense of space where one is accepted and can belong available to talk about one's challenge. Generally, if it's not CPTSD related there are lots of great ways to sort through overload and growth with working with inner feelings. If it's CPTSD and DID or other CPTSD based, parts work or other neurodevelopmentally supportive care might help. If it's oppression based or chronic health based, then it may help to share about the situation and find ways that are less taxing, require less masking, etc. to move through a situation or be at peace in it. Stress can sometimes mask grief. Our hegemonic culture has not developed or has even discarded tools for working with grief. So sometimes stress can be indicator that grief work is helpful. Also, a very real factor is disaster capitalism -- giving people a place to be real about that and its multiple devastating impacts is often very helpful. Sometimes it can open up new creative ways of addressing the challenge and finding agency that might have been inaccessible before. Sometimes there is just a need to mourn the challenges with other compassionate folks to feel less alone. Sometimes its about family or cultural conditioning to prove and succeed in an automated way, that discards the realm of emotions that unfortunately can't be stuffed or wedged out forever, as they are a useful gauge for inner and broader conditions when worked with constructively. Stress could be resultant from conditions not listed here, like being an overextended caregiver, etc. or stepping into one's first big art/creative event... If you're feeling stress, please feel free to reach out and ask for help!

Aaron Kapin
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, LMT
There are a lot of ways to look at stress. Here's a way of looking at stress that I find useful:
Stress is what happens when your body builds up energy to handle one or more situations, but ends up rallying more energy than is necessary to handle those situations well. For example, you have to do your taxes? So your body pumps out a bit of cortisol to get you focused enough to take it seriously. Great. But what happens when your body just keeps dumping cortisol till you feel overwhelmed and exhausted? That's stress.
With Somatic Experiencing, we work together to teach your body how to use just enough energy to get the job done, and then let go of that energy once the job is finished. Rally, execute, then rest. Viola, less stress.

MindOverHealing Therapies
Hypnotherapist, CHt
In today's fast-paced world, stress has become an almost ubiquitous part of daily life. While some stress can be beneficial, motivating individuals to meet deadlines or perform at their best, chronic stress can have detrimental effects on both mental and physical health. Hypnotherapy, a therapeutic practice that utilizes the power of suggestion and visualization, offers a unique and effective method for managing stress. By addressing the underlying psychological triggers of stress and promoting relaxation and positive thinking, hypnotherapy can help individuals achieve a more balanced and harmonious state of mind.

Stress
Brooke Taylor
Pre-Licensed Professional, MA, AMFT
Teens are carrying more than the version of adolescence most of us remember. Academic pressure that starts earlier every year, extracurriculars run like a resume, college looming over sophomores, friendships that never go offline, and often something heavier underneath it, like a family in transition or money worries they were never officially told about.
Stress in teens tends to come out in the body first. Headaches, stomachaches, jaw tension, sleeping badly or not at all. Then it shows up as a short fuse, or tears over something small, or a kid who has gone flat and stopped caring about things they used to. Sometimes it looks like the opposite: a teen who keeps performing beautifully while quietly running on empty. Those are often the ones who go longest without help.
We start by looking at what your teen is actually holding, including the parts that are not obvious to anyone else. From there we work on what can realistically change and what has to be carried differently, and on practical tools that work in the moment: settling the nervous system, unhooking from spiraling thoughts, sorting what is theirs to manage from what is not.
Some of this work involves your family, and I will bring you in where it is useful. Often a small adjustment at home, in the schedule or in the expectations, does more than anything I can teach in a session.
