Festive Stress

 FESTIVE STRESS


This time of year can be stressful for lots of different reasons: end of year work deadlines; preparing for the festive holiday season; the prospect of attending festive parties; meeting up with friends of family (especially those we don't get on with); financial strain; social expectations; children being at home for holidays; and lots more.

It's a lot to take on in quite a small period of time, isn't it?

Stress affects us in so many different ways - emotional, social, psychological, physical, health, work, relationships, spiritual - and can affect each person in different ways.

The poster below illustrates some of these effects. Hope you find it useful. It's important to address stress as soon as you can before it gets worse and begins impacting on other areas of your life. Avoid this 'snowballing' as soon as you can by talking to a professional or accessing some help and support.

We do close early next week for our own holiday break, but we do still have some appointments available before then, and when we return in the new year too.

So, if you would like to book an appointment with any of our psychotherapists, counsellors, dietitians or with a Stress Management Therapist, either before the holidays or in the new year, feel free to get in touch if you would like more information, have any questions or would like to book an appointment.

We can provide in-person appointments at our offices in Glasgow city centre or online appointments to anyone in the UK. Our friendly, supportive and professional therapists are all skilled and highly qualified and are here to support you. Our contact details are below.

Hope you have a stress-less day!

Best wishes,

Focus on..... Binge Eating Disorder

  Focus on..... Binge Eating Disorder (BED)   Binge Eating Disorder or BED is often characterised by someone consuming very large amounts of food over short period of time, even if they are not hungry. Although, we often see another form of binge eating that is characterised by an almost constant 'grazing' of food, which may amount to a large volume of food over time. BED is almost 2x as common in women than in men, although gender differences are less pronounced than in Anorexia Nervosa and Bulimia Nervosa. BED has been found is all cultures and ethnicities. BED was formally classified in 2014 as distinct Eating Disorder and now has formal classification in DSM-5. Keeping in mind that everyone experiencing BED is different and BED may present differently (we are all different and unique, after all!), some of the signs and symptoms of BED include: * Feeling out-of-control when eating during a binge episode. * Often hiding food (before it has been eaten or hiding empty packets a
