Stress Management Counseling
Stress can cause anger, depression, anxiety, illness, chronic pain, muscle tension and nervous system reactivity to name just a few. These physical symptoms interfere with the body’s innate ability to heal. It is so important to realize that you are not a victim, that you do have choices, that you can craft the life you want and the person you want to be.
Phone Counseling for Stress Management Counseling will help you:
• Identify the underlying emotional issues to stress
• Develop concrete coping mechanisms for managing your stress
• Learn relaxation and breathing exercises
• Address diet, exercise and other lifestyle choices
• Understand the neurological and physiological responses to stress
• Identify your “fight, flight or freeze” mechanisms
• Confront destructive patterns of behavior including addictions
• Reframe your negative thinking
• Develop personal boundaries that will facilitate your growth
So much of our lives are influenced by our self-identity, who we think we are. Over identification with our personality causes us to over react to life’s events. We become “triggered” by anything that resembles danger or emotional discomfort. Stress is the breeding ground for reactivity, leading us to feel overwhelmed and out of control. This in turn triggers us to try to control more of what is perhaps out of our control. Phone counseling and therapy can help you stop this self-perpetuating, defeating cycle.
F. Scott Peck said that life is “difficult.” I have been guiding people in the process of self-discovery for many years. This is the process that I refer to as becoming a warrior of the heart, making your life more manageable and joyous.
