Stress is the body’s response to demanding or threatening situations, such as financial difficulties, work-related issues, or challenges within personal relationships. Experiencing extreme or frequent stress can be detrimental, as an inability to manage it effectively can lead to further difficulties and exacerbate health problems.
Common symptoms of stress include:
- Constant worry
- Inability to concentrate
- Memory problems
- Anxious or racing thoughts
- Irritability or anger
- Feeling overwhelmed
- Moodiness
- Aches and pains
- Chest pains
- Procrastination or neglecting responsibilities
- Nervous habits (e.g., nail-biting, pacing)
If you are experiencing extreme or frequent stress, counselling can help you understand the causes of stress in your life and identify factors that might be making it worse. Your psychologist can also suggest you effective strategies to manage stress, including relaxation techniques, which will greatly improve your daily functioning and quality of life.
