Many people suffer from Stress throughout their lives
whether caused by issues at work, financial difficulties, relationship problems,
or otherwise. Short periods of stress can be tolerated but when stress reaches
certain levels it affects us both physically as well as psychologically and
can lead to ill health an depression and anxiety. Common symptoms are irritability,
tension, sleep disturbance, mood swings, anxiety, depression, inability to
concentrate, low performance at work, outbursts of anger, crying easily, panic
attacks, negative thinking, lack of motivation, loss of confidence, loss of
libido, affect on appetite, and social withdrawal. Stress can also cause skin
conditions, digestive problems such as stomach ulcers and I.B.S., headaches,
muscular tension, high blood pressure and flu-like symptoms.
Stress builds up over a period of time and has a root
cause, whether in the present or the past. Counselling and Psychotherapy can
help you establish the cause of your stressful feelings, which include those
created by family, work, relationships, financial difficulties and past experience.
Our Counsellors can help you find ways to tackle the issues and find ways
to manage the stress. It is also important to look at what you may be doing
yourself which contributes to maintaining your high stress levels, such as
always doing things in a rush, pushing yourself to hard, taking onto much,
helping others too much , over-working and not finding ways to relax when
at home. We will work with you to teach you techniques to reduce your stress
levels, and find a more balanced way of living for the long-term.
