Did you know that it's Stress Awareness Month?
Did you know that many of the people we work with in psychotherapy and counselling tell us:
I AM SOOOOO STRESSED!!
I FEEL I AM AT BREAKING POINT!
I AM SO OVERWHELMED BY WORK AND LIFE!!
Stress, overwhelm and burnout affect us in so many different ways: they affect how our brain works; they affect us physically; they affect our feelings and emotions and how we deal with them; they affect us at work and socially; and stress, overwhelm and burnout also affect our relationships and quality of life.
That's a lot of things that stress, overwhelm and burnout can affect, isn't it?
Yet, many of us go along, just putting up with it until we arrive at some sort of breaking point and start feeling panic, anxious, out-of-control, exhausted and maybe even lost.
It doesn't have to be like that though.
There are lots of things you can do, with support, to help both prevent, and manage, stress, overwhelm and burnout. Some involve simple strategies that help keep us on an even keel. For others, a deeper understanding of their concerns are problems are needed.
Whatever the case might be, our psychotherapists and counsellors are here to help you with stress, overwhelm and burnout (and a whole host of other things too).
Therapy and counselling is provided by fully qualified and insured skilled and experienced therapists who are supportive, encouraging, warm and who aim to tailor therapy to you and your preferences at this time.
Therapy goes at your pace and there is no expectation to attend for a certain number of sessions. You are in the driving seat and your therapist will regularly review how things are going to ensure sessions are as beneficial to you as possible.
Stress also affects our physical health, digestion and gut microbiome, so it's important to eat in a balanced way to help combat stress and tension physically too. That's why we also offer nutritional therapy with an experienced dietitian too.
If you would like support with stress, overwhelm and burnout, or with anything else, feel free to get in touch and find out how we can support you.
