Stress is a natural reaction to mental tension or worry from challenging circumstances. It's a universal experience, albeit varying in intensity among individuals. How you manage stress can greatly differ. Opening up about your overwhelm and sharing it with a trusted, understanding, and knowledgeable individual can provide a fresh perspective and supportive environment. Accepting and acknowledging your stress empowers you to release past hurts and gain greater insight as you express your pain to another.
Anxiety and stress has become such a large part of people's experience, with more stressors within our society than ever before. I believe that each person has a unique experience of and response to stress and that many current stressors can trigger past experiences, making anxiety feel that much more uncontrollable. I hope to help you understand where your anxiety is coming from and why it is showing up for you in the way that it is. With this understanding we can then learn to manage core fears and learn to reduce anxiety and stress.
When working with stress, I like to start with some mindfulness around the issue to gain a deeper understanding of the experience, from here there are many options, and I rely of the client's wisdom to guide me.
If you are experiencing stress, burnout, high expectations for yourself, perfectionism, self-criticism, and you would like to develop coping skills and stress management skills, I may be a good fit for you. Please feel free to reach out for a free consult.
