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.
Symptoms of stress can be divided into two categories - emotional and physical symptoms.
Common emotional symptoms are:
Irritability
Sadness
Anger
Apathy (feeling numb)
Burnout
Fear, worry
Shame and guilt
Common physical symptoms are:
Headaches
Insomnia
Fatigue
Stomach aches and Digestive issues
Body pain
Acne or breakouts
Hives
Loss of Appetite or increased appetite
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
Disordered eating
Suicidal ideation

Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Many tend to wait for the time of crisis to consider their experience a "burnout." Burnouts are common when you're working long days and come home to even longer nights. It can show up differently for everyone: some traditional signs of burnout include emotional exhaustion, feeling "numb" or disconnected, constantly questioning your self-efficacy, and constant irritation.

Colleen Fava
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, Reiki Practitioner, BA
There are all kinds of stressors in our lives. Clients will often come to me to say that they don't understand why all of a sudden they cannot deal with their stress. I reply by letting them know that just like the act of doing the same exercise all day long will eventually stop helping our bodies, it is the same for our emotional well being - we need to learn new coping based on the present.

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. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation to ensure we are a good fit.
