STRESS MANAGEMENT COUNSELLING

If you're feeling stressed a lot of the time, this can lead to serious health problems.

Chronic stress disrupts nearly every system in your body by suppressing your immune system, upsetting your digestive and reproductive system, increasing the risk of heart attack and stroke, and speeding up the ageing process. It can even rewire your brain, leaving you more prone to depression, anxiety and other mental health problems.

Stress could be something you’ve felt for a very long time, or maybe something in particular has made it appear.

You find yourself always in a rush. Your mind is constantly racing with thoughts and when you don’t seem to be doing anything, you’re always feeling foggy. You mostly likely feel overwhelmed and tired as things just feel like they’re out of your control. You just can’t seem to catch a break.

Stress is tiring and draining.

You might be experiencing it at a severe or mild level; whatever it may be- it robs you of the present moment, hence robbing your chance of happiness and inner-peace.

Some of the things that might be contributing to your stress could be:

▪   Being unhappy in your job

▪   Having a heavy workload or too much responsibility

▪   Working long hours

▪   Having poor management, unclear expectations of your work, or no say in the

decision-making process

▪   The death of a loved one

▪   Divorce

▪   Loss of a job

▪   Increase in financial obligations

▪   Getting married

▪   Moving to a new home

▪   Chronic illness or injury

▪   Emotional problems (depression, anxiety, anger, grief, guilt, low self-esteem)

▪   Taking care of an elderly or sick family member

▪   Traumatic event, such as a natural disaster, theft, rape, or violence against you or a loved one

Due to any of these events you might be experiencing:

• Sleep disturbances

• Muscle tension

• Irritability

• Lack of motivation

• Difficulty concentrating

• Change in eating habits

• Anxiety

• Depression

• Tiredness

• Unhealthy eating and decreased level of exercise

• Increased use of alcohol or other drug
