Coping with Stress
Whilst positive short-term stress tends to be helpful e.g. avoiding danger or meeting a deadline, prolonged periods of stress can be harmful and affect our concentration, sleep, physical and mental health.
Common Negative Stress Situations Include:
Managing finances
Challenging relationships at home or work
Excessive work pressure
Handling conflict in the family
Loss e.g. job, death of a loved one
Mental or physical illness
Hormonal e.g. PMT, Mid-life crisis, Menopause
Identifying Stress Triggers
Typically the trigger creating stress is constantly present and can cause fearfulness, anger and aggressive behaviour as well as deeper issues including panic attacks, phobias, sexual difficulties and depression.
Counselling with hypnotherapy and NLP is not only effective in developing strategies to manage stress but often also rapidly achieved.
