Everyone is Stressed –How Can Therapy Help?
Just because a lot people are experiencing higher than average levels of stress that doesn’t mean that we should accept that level of stress as normal- or unchangeable. Therapy can help you recognize situations and people that are causing stress and take steps to reduce your daily stress levels and find a little more peace and joy every day.
Will Therapy Really Help with Stress?
Therapy helps you develop skills to manage stress, cope with overwhelm, and generally live a more satisfying life. Some skills you may learn during stress management therapy include:
Planning – taking time to plan and manage time wisely can help to reduce stress throughout the day.
Focusing – when you’re under stress or feel that you have a lot to do, it can be very tempting to multitask, but in most cases, that just leaves you feeling distracted and not doing your best work. Instead, you should focus on one task at a time.
Transitioning – in addition to focusing on one task at a time, you should give yourself a small break between tasks. Taking time to transition can help to relieve stress and actually make you more productive. Whether it’s getting up for a coffee break or walking around the block, take a short break between projects to reset and renew your focus.
De-Stressing – take time each day to talk to friends and loved ones, engage in your hobbies, and generally do activities that you enjoy that will help you relieve stress.
What Happens During Therapy for Stress Management?
